Hi, the lettering on the black granite family gravestone has flaked and looks tatty. I intend to wire brush then repaint. Any advice on the best paint to use, my first thought was Hammerite but any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!

    Unless you are a songwriter I suggest you don't attempt it.

    One shot enamel paint is ideal for lettering. Available in metallic colours as well as black, white and yellow, this paint can be used as the base for a gilded letter or as a standard coloured letter.
