I tried hand painting the letters...disaster.
I tried using Fusion Spray paint for plastics and then sanded the overspray off with 220, 320, and 400 grit sandpaper. The lettering came out beautiful but I lost the shine of the corian.
Anyone have any experience with this? How can I make it look good?
Thanks in advance for all replies,
Craig
Hey Craig,
I carve lots of Corian and use the method you do...but finish with a good rubbing using a brass grill cleaning brush. It puts a beaujtiful sheen on the surface. It also works on lithophanes! Takes care of those little hairlines.
