Why is quality headstone lettering paint essential?
Memorial stones are exposed to harsh conditions 365 days a year: direct UV radiation, heavy rain, snow, and frost. Standard paints quickly crack and peel under these stresses. Professional memorial lettering paint offers high opacity and flexibility, protecting the engraved text from dirt accumulation and moss growth. A beautifully maintained inscription is a mark of respect for the deceased.
How to choose the right paint for inscription restoration?
Consider the type of stone (granite, marble, limestone) and the required durability:
- Weather Resistance: Choose paints with UV filters that are hydrophobic (water-repellent).
- Durability and Pigmentation: High-quality pigments ensure that gold stays gold and silver retains its luster over time.
- Ease of Application: For DIY enthusiasts, look for paints with excellent adhesion that don't leave streaks.
- Aesthetics: The color should complement the overall design – from classic gold and silver to subtle white or anthracite.
Types of lettering paints in our offer and their use
We provide proven solutions for both professional stonemasons and DIY restoration:
- Gold and Silver Dust: A traditional method for a premium, luxurious look. Applied to a prepared surface using size (mixtion). This requires precision and is recommended for experienced users.
- Spray Paints: The fastest choice for new memorials, ideally used immediately after sandblasting while the stencil film is still attached.
- Brush-on Paint: The most versatile method, perfect for renovating old inscriptions directly at the cemetery. Thanks to its thick consistency, it provides excellent coverage; we recommend applying two thin layers.

Professional tips for perfect results
- Cleanliness is Key: Before painting, the lettering must be free of moss, grease, and dust. Use methylated spirits or a specialized stone cleaner.
- The Right Tools: Use high-quality fine-hair retouching brushes for clean lines without overspill.
- Regular Maintenance: Extend the life of the inscription by occasionally cleaning it with fresh water to remove smog and pollen deposits.
