Well it was probably hand painted at first so why you worried. Good respect for your family. When others did not seem to care. You encourage people yet you said you felt terrible. Double speak?

You’ll need to spray from all the angles to cover inside top, sides and bottom otherwise the letters will fade much sooner.

Gorgeous!!!! Not Too Great Grandchildren Do that for their Loved Ones Anymore.........

Just superb

Great video, thx for sharing the process, how has the paint held up after 8 years? thx in advance

Don't listen to this guy he is not good

Thanks for your video, you did a wonderful job.

Well done for thinking of those who had to leave us. ❤ 👏👏👏👏 I have relettered several of our own, all white! I find it easiest to pop an old cushion into a garbage bag to sit or kneel on.... Permanent marker has worked well forvme and the acrylic artist brushes with white gloss paint is the go to method. Removing any stray drops or marks I've used hand sanitizer on cotton buts or a small face cloth. The best thing?? The peace and quiet in our graveyard. Peace out everybody, always remember where we came from and the certainly of where we are going. Well done again Sir 👏👏

Plum stupid to paint a butiful rock .this man done this for money.he ought to be ashamed for this ....plumm ugly.

Nice! Very good video. Was surpised molassas would work as masking. Thank you.

Good job, it looks great! 0:55

Thank you!

Great job honoring the memory of your granparents! I can read Arabic. It says (left to right because that is how Arabic is written): "1948 Mary Jaleet Abu Hatab 1895". "Hatab" translates into "wood" (like firewood) in English and they probably wanted an Anglicized version of the last name when emigrating from Lebanon to America. (Abu means "father of" & was often a nickname given to sons, so here "father of Hatab" may have become Gabriel's last name in Lebanon, perhaps -- just guessing). I'm wondering if you're near Allentown because there was a huge migration of Lebanese there around the turn of the last century.

I have done this with molasses and monumask. In prefer the monumask. It’s easy to apply and easy to remove. The molasses was just to messy plus I never use metal of any kind when lettering headstones.

Your also saving it from the moss eating it and destroying it the more you paint the more you preserve it.

This is amazing and that’s beautiful Arabica words so much love well done

Well done.

Love the video, just a couple of things from a person that does this, as some of the comments have already said, don't start your sprary directly on the headstone, start spraying off to the side and then move onto the stone, also don't use Rust-oleum paint, by a nice granite paint, called Lithichrome paint, a little more pricey but it will last a whole lot longer. Good on that headstone though.

I thought I was one of few people who care about the legacy and history of their family. Im sure we are still a minority but it makes me happy to see so many people in the comment section resurrecting their family history and working hard to preserve it. I hit the legacy jackpot with my family. I found a great grandparent who was a wealthy businessman. Found photos of him. Met neighbors who knew him. Turns out he had a large professional legacy tomb made that was abandonded and starting to chip apart but with the majority of the foundation strong and intact. The country its located in only required proof of lineage and a cheque and they were happy to have someone paying them and also maintaining the tomb. Its large enough to fit several people and I plan on renovating it and keeping it in the family. Thats how I came across this video. Awesome video and your grandparents are no doubt smiling with joy in the after life at all your dedication.

U did an amazing job! What a thoughtful tribute to ur late family. I am doing the same for mine and just come across ur video! 🫡

wooooooooooooow looooooooooks goooooooooood wheelchair larry😁😁😁😁😁😁

The molasses was unnecessary on a polished stone with no rough areas. On one like that you could've just painted and scraped with a razor blade.

Do you know what the Arabic writing says

what's the ethnic language written on the top?

Great job - well done

Should mention that anyone trying this. Make sure if the other graves are nearby the paint doesnt blow onto them. I heard a cuttle fish can clean the excess off also.

idiota

The Arabic translation of the name isn’t correct.

Wow this is fantastic... can this be done on all stone?

thanks, il try this my next trip to the cemetery

So nice that you care.

Cuttlefish would have taken it off even quicker.

I know this is a seven-year-old video, but wanted to thank you for making it. Just did this today and your video made it go very smoothly.

outstanding Job

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Cuttlebone would have removed it also

i just lettered my Fathers stone and your process worked great! Thank you

Remember to always start your spraay pattern off the stone and bring the apray onto the stone. This way, you won't create any runs from starting the paint spray directly onto the stone and then trying to move without getting a run.

Wow, beautiful

If you add masking tape to it right after you spray it will lift the spray paint from the surface but not the indented letters.

Do you use molasses on matte granite headstone so apply molasses to matte surface then apply paint and the wash it off is that how it’s done on matte granite headstone ?

We’ll done 💪🏽

The best paint to use is lithochrome . It’s specifically engineered to stay on stone for years. I’m a stone engraver and lithochrome is best and standard for letters and designs

You did a great job

What about a light spray of wd40 on a paper towel??

I'm wondering if it would be easier to use plasti dip spray instead. You'd have to spray 4-5 layers but after peeling off the exterior parts will be easier, leaving the lettering intact. I worry about the overspray. I would have duct taped an open bottom box around the signage area just in case to protect surrounding grave markers

Excellent job.

Good video great job !

I watched the video that you learned this from and feel the same way as you (where it feels so wrong). I still haven’t had the nerve, but am sure glad to see somebody watched the same video I did and I found you doing this. It looks GREAT! Ours is right on a busy street...literally, I am sure I would get the cops called on me for doing the one I am still thinking about doing, simply becasue of it’s heavy traffic location. (I do have documentation to prove that they are my parents though...I’ve given it THAT much thought). Yours looks fantastic!

290? Houston? Looks nice & mild.
