When you have a black granite memorial and the gold inside the inscribed lettering has faded, it is time for restoration. I am not entirely convinced you should just paint over the letters en masse. Once the paint has dried, how on earth do you remove the excess? Any ideas?
That's really something. I hope it is an unfinished bit of work and they will be back to remove the excess paint from the surface. Maybe with a steel brush on a rotating disk sort of tool ? Seems rather sloppy though like that, unless they are planning on grinding down the entire surface to clean it ? There wasn't anyone about who could tell you ? A sad life they had, losing children so young. I can't imagine.
ReplyDeleteThey may leave it. Seen some a little like this. Usually white paint though.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gale. Unfortunately, I've seen a lot like this -- usually left as you have pictured.
ReplyDeleteHallo Laurie,
ReplyDeleteI hope this is something that someone is going to come back to finish!! It seems such a shame if it is just going to be left like that.
There's so much information there, someone obviously wanted to be able to read it.
Kind regards,
