Well after decade we finally are making our cemetery fence towers.
18"x18"x48", 1x2 frame on a 2x3 frame base. 1/2" blue foam covering it, 2" foam tops.
We have routed out blocks 12" long by 6" deep so there is only one vertical grout line per horizontal line.
I know, a pic would be easier ... Do not have one yet. Will do one Monday.
Anyhow, the question.
We have light grey paint for the towers that we want to use the pneumatic sprayer to apply it. But we want the grout lines to define the blocks, to be darker.
We are not artistic so even testing hasn't given a clear answer ...
So do we paint the grout lines black, then few days later spray the towers including the grout lines ? Maybe the black underneath will define them? Or...
Is it better to spray the towers then few days later use a brush, or airbrush, to paint the black grout lines? Or......
Some other technique?
We will be trying a black dry brush over parts of the towers.
There are 8 towers plus two 6' high plywood, not foam, gate towers that will eventually have an archway name, when we figure that out.
So......... Thoughts for the artistically challenged?
