I painted this 45” Saw Blade using 'Patio Paint' acrylics in 2007. My Dad constructed a customized stand for it, which we installed at the end of the driveway, incorporating it into our gate. Following prolonged exposure to intense sunlight and various weather, the Saw Blade required an upgrade due to fading. It has never peeled, though. The reverse side, featuring the Confucian quote "Where so ever you go, go with your heart!" is visible when leaving our home and is shaded more from direct sunlight. This side has never undergone touch-ups and remains in good condition. I have clear coated both sides a few times using 'Tremclad' Clear Coat. I am impressed by the remarkable resilience of the paintings after all these years.
