I just got my first sign job… and i’m stoked… unfortunatley… its for a family friend so… moneys not that great… but its good work and it will put me out a bit more… i’ve never actually painted a sign before… but i know how to mask an use an airbrush… i made a guide in illustrator… and i’m gonna mask it out… its very simple… just a USCG-AUX logo (thats cost guard auxiliary) with their flotilla number… but i’m still excited… anyone have any pointers? like finishing… priming…masking?

its gonna be on a piece of masonboard…
