“What paint works best for Christmas window splashes?”
Window splashes are great advertising, and Christmas windows are a terrific seasonal opportunity for sign painters. This reader wants to know what paint others use for the job.
This taco-serving Santa is the work of Nick Barber, Ventura, California.
I’ve gone water based on my window splashes.
I put down a white primer base coat and then use
Behr brand acrylic for the colors.
Mack Brush company has some brushes that can
be used with water based paints.
I have been using interior eggshell enamel from Benjamin Moore. Layout a white base coat with a 4” roller then come back in with your colours. A double coat on the base can really make your colours pop!
I switched to Sherwin Williams paints after all the other window color suppliers dried up
Dayglo water base on top of flat white latex, outlines with cel vinyl paint.
