Restoring a Vintage Neon Sign

In this video I restore this old Fosters neon sign that I found at an estate sale for really cheap. Enjoy the video!

We use steel wool to remove the dye on neon. If the whole unit has to be done, we spray it with Easy-Off Oven cleaner. We are experimenting with Krylon Glass spray paint currently. NT Signs, West Palm Beach

That’s a great idea!

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Pretty cool Anthony. If your selling any of those let me know. Take care my friend and do a kindness Mark

+MARK Baid I was thinking of selling couple and thank you!

We found the paint! Tamiya Color matches the yellow (PS-42) and red (PS-37)! Remove the unit and apply 2 light coats. Voila!

Hey pal, what kind of yellow paint did you use i need the same exact one for my corona sign. Please help, and thak you. Great job on your work as well.

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Hello, I just used regular yellow enamel paint

[@phoenixbuyer7510]

So how do you not get brush strokes on the neon, when you paint it, while using yellow?

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

Airbrush works best

Выглядит просто офигенно, чесслово

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

What did you use to clean it..?

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

I don't remember off the bat, but it was somekind of solvent. It was either acetone or goof off
