I give just one coat of black paint to the signs I make. That is usually sufficient, because I distress them later in the process and it makes aging alot easier. It may seem like I just sit down and start painting the sign, but actually I plan out the lettering on a piece of tracing paper before I start painting. The plan isn't meant to be an exact design, but just a rough guideline for the types of letters I will paint and their spacing. I often don't paint the letters exactly the way I drew them as I like to kind of create as I go along. Below is the rough guide I drew out for the "Quilting" sign. --Bob
