Wow! I had no idea that's how they did that. Very consistent!
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah. What they do is mark out some guides (but not actual letters to follow) and then use the stick as a spacing tool and straight edge. Given that here in Canada this would be done with giant stencils and a truck-mounted industrial sprayer being driven by a generator, I just love the simplicity of two guys, a stick and a paint roller.

That dude has painted some letters on some roads in the past. That is the face of experience.

Oh I am totally on board with that feel. Most are done that way but this is so much cooler.

40 years ago, you had lettering artists who could do much better than that (cursive, block) hand held for signs (mostly for grocery shop windows, garment stores). They could write a bunch of words in an allotted space without going over and having a consistent kerning (:space between letters). I guess it is not a lost art after all.

I've got a good friend who's a sign painter - freehand. It's incredible to watch.

Luckily there are still a few around. I say a hand painted Chevy Cobalt ad go up over the course of a week.
Interesting fact, if you want to by 'one-shot' lacquer here in California, you have to sign a waiver saying it won't be used on a car...
