Well what do you know. If I put my name here, I do not have to sign it everytime.

The cleanup continues, and I'm thinking what color yellow do I paint this signal?

There are many options out there, can anyone suggest a good brand/color name of paint for this project? This will be a rattle can paint job, so the colors may be somewhat limited. If you could post some pictures for example's, that would be great!!

Thanks for your help!!

ACE hardware brand School Bus Yellow is my favorite rattle can yellow for signals. It is EXTREMELY messy because it sprays finer than most spray paints, but I think it is worth it.

Word to the wise.....don't paint SBY inside anywhere! Jerry dont say a word!! :crazy:

We finally just stripped and rewaxed the workshop floor last week after it being glazed in yellow for years since repainting 3M visors. I thought visors would be quick and painless....that stuff gets EVERYWHERE! :rob: :Phil: :rob

Lesson LEARNED! :blush:

You all have me worried about the "yellow haze" involved here?? I already have a slight green haze on several items, (mainly the floor) what color do you get when you mix yellow and green?? :scratch: :rotfl: :rotfl:

You should have seen my old garage door before I had it replaced...black, yellow and green haze on top of white!
