- This was my first ever experience coating out a sign with Ronan Bulletin paint, at least what I can remember....
Because I could not find any White 101L 1 Shot I tried the Ronan. I will say I was a little disappointed to say the least, there was 1 good point but only 1 that stood out over the 1 shot.

Not taking sides here but there is a difference in coverage between bulletin color and lettering enamel. Bulletin color is purposely developed to see through on reprints and for shorter term durability on billboards…aka bulletins. Been painting for 40 plus years. Hope this helps. I will be subscribing.
Appreciate that info, been using 1 shot since the "lead" days. I guess there is a time and place for both and I learned something new. I never really strayed much from what worked, I just worked with what I had.
I did not know that Bulletin was design for repainting
I was thinning down white for that .
I know there’s a big difference between Ronan Lettering Enamel and Ronan Bulletin. Partially in longevity
I use Ronan Aquacote frequently , I have a couple old quarts of black and white and there great . But recently I heard since it changed owners there have been some coverage issues with the Aquacote.
The Ronan Lettering Enamel is comparable to one shot and I know a lot of sign painters that prefer it over one shot.
And I don’t use one shot for rolling if I can help it.
I order from McLogan and Harbor Sales
Blick as well sometimes.
A good comparison would be one shot bulletin colors . Not lettering enamel. Try ronan lettering enamel instead.
I have to agree with HotRod Jen. You have to compare apples to apples. I work for Pacific Coast Sign Supply in Portland OR. We have sold 1-Shot and Ronan for a very long time. Most of our long time sign writers have had to switch to Ronan. For the most part they have been happy with Ronan's color, gloss and coverage. If there has been a complaint it has been with coverage. Most of our really experienced guys will add a dab of black to help with converage. Sadly 1-Shot has had a very difficult time with the supply chain. We have started getting shipments but it is still a struggle.
maybe if you used ronan lettering enamel "one stroke" instead of the bulletin line to compare to 1shot it would be different.
Yeah, I just used what they sent me. It was not a fair comparison but now I'm working with the "one stroke" it's not that bad.
The Ronan comparison to 1-Shot should be there 1-Stroke line and not bulletin paint.
Gotcha, I learned my lesson and now use some RONAN lettering enamel because the 1Shot is still hard to get get.
Thank you Sir
Most welcome
I'm getting ready to buy Ronan paints after 45 years of one shot mainly because of availability in my remote location. I watched your video but tell me.., did you use white one shot lettering enamel as a comparison for the Ronan Bulletin enamel? The lettering enamels are always much better and I rarely use bulletins anymore except for large backgrounds and sometimes too thin coats goes better than a thick one anyway
To be 100% honest with this video I should have used the Ronan Lettering Enamel not bulletin. Because I'm in the same situation as you with the 1 Shot I've been using the Ronan Enamel for about 6 months now. So far it's been working pretty good, A few things I prefer over 1 shot: The smell is not as bad, dries faster and it's available. I will go back to 1 Shot once available again , because I have years and years of 1 Shot signs out there. I always prefer to paint in 1 coat, some colors of Ronan will take some touch up but for the most part it will work out just fine.
I am new in this business. I am trying to set up shop and your set up is so neat. Would it be too much asking about sharing the general information of your equipment? Thank you. I am a new subscriber.
Thanks for subscribing! Let me see if I can do 1 or 2 more videos before I say so long to sign making. I'm heading in a different direction but still have all my "stuff".

Repaints..not reprints sorry for the typo
No problem, I knew what you were getting at... Thanks for watching.
another thing is if you pencial to market it out with use denature ackhal and it will take it off with or sand it be for you paint it
Yup, I know what NOT to do if there is a next time.
I always use a primer coat & 2 finish coats even if it's one shot. Ronan's a very good paint. Use the lettering enamel for a fair comparison next time sign guy.
@@TheSignGuy You dont have to be smart ass i was trying pass on tip i knew with out go threw all that geez
Do you have to Prime it before using the Ronan Bulletin paint?
Depends on what you are painting, I used it on MDO. But I buy my MDO pre-primed, but yes I would always use a primer. KILTZ2 or Jay Cooks primer is what I use for all my stuff.
Oneshot lettering enamel and oneshot bulletin enamel are different. Same as ronan.
Yes, you are right
water base paint in gennal wont coat in one coat you should got there enamel paint from them next time
This was a first for me, I'll stick with the latex for HDU and my 1 Shot for MDO.
hmm
Huh???
