[pianotech] Plate Artwork Paint

[Mark Potter]

Terry -

Yes, enamel will work great.  I did a restoration several years ago of a square 
grand for our Statehouse that had mucho elaborate artwork: vines, flowers, much 
'pin-striping', etc.  I found a guy who does murals for a living, and he was 
outstanding.  


Another place to look for talent.

Subject: [pianotech] Plate Artwork Paint

I have a piano plate that I have refinished in gold lacquer topped with clear 
satin lacquer. I need to have quite a bit of artwork done on the plate as per 
original - much like black pin-striping. In the past for lettering I've been 
using some paint pens from an art store with very good results However in this 
case the pin-striping is much more artsy, will need to be done by hand and I 
don't think a paint pen will even come close to meeting my needs - it will need 
to be done by hand with a brush.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for what type of black paint to use so 
that there are no compatibility problems with the nitrocellulose lacquer clear? 
Will simple enamel work well?

Thanks
