This was my first attempt at removing the top layer of paint to create a sign. I had an old metal sign that I didn't like the saying on anymore, so I spray painted it black. Then I coated it with a flat chalky type craft paint. Then I lasered the words. Then I "roughed up" the edges. I had to do it 6 times before it came out okay.
