I am no...I used to be a signwriter many years ago.<br /><br />I am not being critical - I love the can, but, you will find the text far easier to paint directly on the can, as don't forget it is curved, and your text on the plastic is flat and will always look wrong painted flat, compensate by marking the can lightly with a china graph pencil and making it look right on the can.<br /><br />You can always wipe enamel of if it's wrong, songwriters use lining tape above and below characters, when learning.<br /><br />Keep up the good work, at least you have a short boat name like us!!!! Always easier to paint <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20974756.post-88499885100092963902014-08-31T16:00:52.087+00:002014-08-31T16:00:52.087+00:00Looks brilliant !
