I have a project board I will be working on this winter. I want to create some creative graphics.
Spray painting would be an option but whatever sticker or decal the manufacturer use would be easier. Like the picture below

Do you want letters like that ? I would go to the hobby section of Walmart, or Hobby Lobby, or such and get a stencil set, that you paint over.
You can have fairly simple ones made using any letter format, mine come from a company in the Philippines , quite reasonable for low quality.

You can find lots of cheap stickers in the above stores, also stencils.
I do a lot of this, and am a artist of sorts painting watercolor.



Not to everyone's taste, like all works

Greetings Mr. Alex,

Stickers are nice, but if you have the time, taping and spraying it in is much more
artistic and done correctly really looks much sharper. I have done a few
myself, both ways. You can also create a pattern and provide that to
a "Sign" company. They can usually create you a board length sticker
for more complex designs. I usually put down my graphics (including
stickers) before I put on the non-skid. Just a thought.

The graphics on top of this board (which has long since retired) were designed by me.
