Signwriting is a highly specialised art form used to advertise products or services, create directional signage and produce custom artwork. Selecting the appropriate signwriting paint is crucial since it must be durable, weather-resistant and have good adhesion properties.
Although the best paint for signwriting will ultimately depend on the specific project, some paints have gained a reputation for delivering top-notch results. In this article, we provide handy tips for surface preparation and explore the best paints for signwriting.

This work is an exciting departure in style and technique for me as it was painted entirely with Viponds Acrylic (Artist’s range as well as the regular Low Sheen Exterior Acrylic Range), a lot of roller pole techniques and a bold outline. I leant a lot heavier into a new style of painting with this work and also drew on my inner kid’s comic book influences.
