Painting Signs on Vinyl - New Experience with Beej for 2009

Sign Writing & Lettering CourseRecently we were asked to demonstrate some of our airbrushing onto vinyl signs at the Sign UK Show at the NEC in Birmingham. Response to these demmos was excellent and lots of sign folks and Letterheads (term for a Brother or Sister of the Brush) expressed a great deal of interest in attending a class specifically to learn how to use Auto Air paint, an airbrush and some Frog Juice to create colourful lettering and logo's instead of using an expensive, digital vinyl printer.

We'll show you how to utilise Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to design your files and make changes quickly and easily. You will then use these images for reference to paint the vinyl using water-based, Auto Air and new Auto-Borne paint systems. This is a quick and cost-effective way of utilising the latest water-based paint systems to add simple fades or elaborate designs to plain ol' plotter-cut vinyl!

Turn your skills and your plotter into a fantastic, money-making opportunity for signs and vehicle livery.
