TM-43-0139 Painting Instructions for Army Material Manual
Popeye’s city boys visited one of our weekend intro to brush lettering classes, and here reprinted a lot of illustrations Caitlyn drew for our accompanying guidebook.
With a few shots from around the shop, and a page from our brush lettering guidebook (illustrating our top secret proprietary stroke numbers and directions, oh no!), Popeye answers the age-old question, “What is sign painting?” At least, I presume they do. I’ll have to get Candice, or someone, to translate this for me.
