Anyone have time to paint in their own gear? I always get started on my own stuff, but never finish. Nothing on the front of the box yet, waiting for some inspiring slogan or an official shop name. The “Lurk on Instagram at Slappy Signs”is just a mock I did in case I use that name. Anyhow, thanks for lurking and chime in if you’d like.
Hi everyone. I’m pretty new to sign painting but was wanting to switch from enamels to poster colors for practice to save some money. I have a few brushes I’m starting to like already so my question is would I need dedicated brushes for the poster color? Or would cleaning my enamel brushes then rinsing well with water be okay? Thanks!
Did free work for Chillers around the center of Nuremberg.
Hi everyone! I’ve been asked to paint a banner that I believe is PVC, feels like a tarp. It already has a printed design on one side and the other side is blank. I’ve been asked to fill it in but have no idea where to start (materials wise). This banner will be up for a few days. My first thought is that the acrylics are okay and it just needs some kind of clear coat on top to withstand the weather and not chip. I’ve never painted on this kind of material before. Doing my own research I’m mostly seeing craft banners and businesses that print large vinyl banners. Any advice on what paints to use and how to ensure it would be weather proof would be greatly appreciated.
suggestions appreciated. i have a bit of free time + i wanted to put the finishing touches on this but not sure what. first // only sign i’ve ever painted.. i know it’s not perfect, there are so many things i would’ve wanted to do differently!
Has anyone ordered from them lately?? I placed an order in February, i was double charged & i still haven’t gotten my order !
I called at least 5 times, left messages, & sent multiple emails. Nothing
I started a fraud case with my bank end of March cuz I hadn’t even gotten any emails besides the receipt.
If you haven’t ordered from them, I highly suggest you don’t
I’m sure this has been asked here before but I couldn’t find the thread. What sort of wood does everyone tend to get for sign painting, both outdoor and for indoor wall art? And other none paint supplies used?
So I had put tape down to get crisper lines as someone recommended it, I used 3m 271 tape. When I was removing the tape the background paint came off and was white, didn’t really know what to do so I painted it with a sponge hoping it’d be the same texture but it just looks dumb af.
I’m freaking out now as I feel like the painting is ruined? Any advice on what I could do?
Also why does the tape pulling up never seem to work for me, I’m using sign paints. Am I doing something wrong or what?
Hello dear painters,
I just tried my First mirror sign. I wanted to have a german word "keep gschmeidig" on it. So its a nice saying in germany and means Like keep calm .
Now i had the letters printed out and made some dots through it with a that tool u use for i dont know how its called, its a round dot circle. After that u can clapped with some blue chalk over it. Maybe with plotting is a better way to get it on the surface.
After that i had to put on the glue milk for the gold leafs. I Really love to learn that skill but its pretty hard to get them on the mirror ... i Really had Problems that not all lines i wanted with it filled out correctly. There were some little spaces and i dont know what i did wrong here. So i just put second layer and tried to fix it.
I Really like this one Shot colours omg their amazing :3
And i also painted a outline for the letters because something missed in This writing.
So as i am like a beginner i need ure feedback what can i do better? Any tipps, or tipps ?
Keep gschmeidig and lovely day😘😎
Does anyone have any advice on how to get clients for murals/window mural jobs? I have tried everything i can think of. Ive emailed businesses, DM on insta and FB, and even handed out flyers to some. Is there something else I can be doing? I seem to be getting no new clients from it.
