Sign Paints

[xtremek]

I'm making a couple of signs out of cedar for our place. I have 2 questions. I'm told to use Spar urethane for a coating. What would should I use for the lettering and design, and should I put it under, or on top of the spar coating?

One-shot paint.

Apply paint, when dry then apply the varnish to protect it. I'd recommend a sample test to be sure the 2 chemicals get along but usually its no problem.

I agree on the spar urethane. I like this

I have only used it over stain so you would need to double check that it will be OK over the sign paint.
