I'd rather cutting out the letters only, then paint them only without the hassle of cleaning around them. The lettering used on this stone is perfect for cutting with an xacto knife.

Great job. Good as new.

Thank  you for sharing your knowledge in ALL of your "stone re-finishing/cleaning" video's.

Thank you so much DJ  you're instructions are so helpful. I am going to clean up my Mum & Dad's polished headstone.
Take care & God Bless.

In Holland we have lots and lots of graves made of Belgium Hardstone. When the letters are graved in the stone and I wanted to paint only the letters, have you tips and tricks for that?

What about lead lettering that’s level with the surface of the grave stone, how do you re blacken the letters? The reason I’m asking is because me and my girlfriend cleaned her mums gravestone and the cleaner took all the black of and now the lettering is all silver and lead colored.

Can you please do a video on how to repaint the flowers on headstones

I am SO going to do this!!! Have you got a recommendation for the type of spray paint that you use?

Would this process also work on a Marble headstone's that were originally filled with lead? It still has some of the lead in place but someone decided to clean the headstone using a bleach to whiten the stone and the solvent has caused a lot of the lettering to fall out. The stone is white and I was thinking of using either a black paint of a dark grey graphite auto motive body fillier, then sanding it back? The original wholes from the lead were drilled in so that they should also hold the body filler.

What do you use for gold lettering on black granite? Gold leaf, or do you have a paint that you'd suggest?

What sort of spray paint did you use ? Acrylic ?

I sure was wondering why you didn't use molasses!  LOL  I have never seen stones with children and dates like this before.  I love this idea.

hi i have a gravestone to repaint in black it is marble but not polished! what do you suggest i use to cover the letters before i paint them? thank you

To Frank Timmermans:  I just painted my Granite headstone and the little pores in the granite were speckled with white paint, after I cleaned off the surplus. I wish I had seen your comment about the Onion. Does it really work? And how can I clean the white speckles in the little crevices and pores.?? I am an amateur at this and was badly advised by a monumental mason, though his work is no better. Also how do you clean off your surplus paint?...

Will the acid work to clean up a black polished headstone?

Quiero restaurarla pero cbiarle el nombre, cómo lo hago

Thank you I appreciate your video I learned something. Where are you located I’m on Monument go to near Chicago

Where can I purchase a role of this tape and one of these stones please comment back thank you so very much and please be safe

What would you charge to do something like this both sides?

What will I expect the charge to be for the upkeep of my stone? My stone was set  mid October and the white lettering has faded.
