2 Questions... Marquee box inside white or silver? Best paint for aluminum?
« on: December 30, 2008, 12:34:51 am »
Does anyone know which would reflect more light out of a marquee
Painting the inside white or lining it with a silvery reflective material?

and...

Does anyone know what the best spray paint for an aluminum marquee retainer would be?

Painting the inside of the marquee area white is best.

Use automotive primer. Any spray-paint should work after that.

note: make sure you use the right color primer as some top-coats are not "solid-body"

white primer for yellow paint, dark gray primer for black paint, etc.
