I made a sign for my buddies barbershop. I just made the top trim sign, not the mural.

So I used primed MDF. Painted it black, waited 48 hours. Covered it in blue tape, made dust, then spray painted the lettering. Removed the blue tape and a bunch of the black paint came with it. Then I forgot to set the depth on the second board, cut right into it.

Then the 1/16th bit missed a part of the ark on the trible lines. So hand cut and sanded the missed finish pass only to see 5 random letters where the same thing happened.

The i was afraid to try the tape again to spray the letters, so i ended up hand painting.

So a 2 day project turned into 2 week project.

But it’s done and it turned out better then I hoped, plus my friend really likes it too

Good ol LR2.

I feel this statement very much so! :rofl:

But those projects are the ones you learn the most from! Finished product looks great!

Yeah, mine was not nearly the same size, but I found out about paint curing same as you.

I also found out that just filling them in was not too bad either!
