Now that the metal work was over, it was time for masking and paint. I had some orange and black rattle cans in the paint cabinet , so I decided to use them. The shades didn't match, but at least it is the right colors. I traced the letters on wax paper from the good side of the sign. I then layered masking tape on the wax paper and cut the letters out by flipping the paper over and following the lines with my scissors. This made it really easy when it came masking the letters off. One layer of orange paint covered by a layer of black and this is what we have.
I plan on sanding the black with 1500-2000 grit to dull the gloss a bit
