Quote from Ries:
"My one exception is that I do have a weakness for "one shot" sign
painters
enamel. I often paint it over pieces that I have first had powdercoated.
[end quote]

That's interesting. I've wondered if painting over powdercoating would
work. Have you had good results with the powdercoating for indoor work?
i.e. have the finishers done a good job? (I know it's possible to do it
yourself using the equipment from Eastwood, but it sounds as if you
subcontracted the powdercoating.)

One-shot sign paints always used to contain lead, and warnings about
that. Do they still?
