Hello, makers and crafters and engineers and anyone else who can help.
How to preserve this?
I have... let's say "liberated"... a sign that was on the side of the road in my small town for a few years, and was eventually pulled down or fell down.
Right when the pandemic started (IIRC) this rusted sign got sprayed with the word "HOPE". Nothing else, just that word. It was visible in a little greenspace between the two tiny towns here. I tried to photograph it several times but never really captured it. This sign is meaningful to me.
It fell down or was taken down (suspiciously, right when the state police built a station across the road, though it maybe just fell down). That was almost two years ago.
Tonight I brought it home. It is now my baby. I want to preserve and enhance the "HOPE" graffiti, which has faded in the months sitting in the grass.
the sign is an old slab of steel (maybe 3/16" thick? IDK, it weighs at least 40 lbs). Very rusted, but also solid.
How to preserve this message? I'd prefer to simply highlight what is there, not repaint anything. Any ideas?
