    Yes it does not show up well in the photo. I thought about darkening the signatures but was no sure of the best way to do it.

    What I would do is brush in a dark color, i.e. black and then lightly sand. Or just a Sharpie pen and follow the lines and then sand any overage by hand.

    As Ike stated you could brush on a dark color. Since you have a finish (Sealer) on the project.

    Once you brush the dark color over the signatures wipe off the dark color that in on the surface with a cotton rag.

    That is way it is best to have a finish/sealer on any project were you are going to color paint or fill the center line text.
