    1-Shot Lettering Enamel.

    Look in the Yellow Pages under sign supplies for a local supplier.

    Avoid Eastwood.
     

  3. Avoid Eastwood.
    Why avoid Eastwood? I was just getting ready to order from them.

    They Screwed one of the guys on the Metalshapers board on a business deal.
    Stole his design,and had someone else make copies,
    while still using photos of the original in their catalogs. [​IMG]





    And you can get anything they have,cheaper,elsewhere.

    1 Shot definely! Do not even mess around with inferior qualitly stuff, it will only frustrate you.

    If you can't find it local, I have had good service from www.misterart.com on line. Quick shipping and most all colors in stock.

    I use 1-shot. I have used HOK, but to expensive. And I prefer 1-shot. What kind of brushes you planning on using?
     
  8. Well lets see...what does Unk say...yep...none better than One Shot. I will concur with the concensus of the board, not because it's the cool thing to do, but One Shot™ is all I use...

    Yes, One-Shot will work the best for you in my opinion.

    I just don't understand this...

    Did he submit his design to them or something? Just wondering...I got brush, I got paint, la-la-la-la...

    Some people here have a hard on for Eastwood, but I have nothing but good things to say about them. (****-Head Blick is a complete other story.) But then again, I live relatively close to their wharehouse and can drive there and get what I need instead of ordering it.

    They were buying a product from him,that he designed and manufactured,for resale.
    Then they cut him out of the loop,
    and got someone else to make sloppy copys of that design,most likely at a lower cost.

    The same way Speedway screwed over Vern Tardell. [​IMG]

    Wallmart is a bad influence.
