It's easy really; three small tins of enamel, one green, one white, one red and paint the front edges of three vertical bars.

Like Ben said. Plus a Stanley knife blade to strip off the excess paint. Worth sanding the bars gently first to help the paint grip.

Personally, I would go to a sign maker and get some vinyl in the right colours. That way it's removable if you get bored with it

Thanks guys!
@Adam
do i have to use primer before painting?

Hi todea20, sorry I missed your question. I did just a light sanding.

As for getting bored of it.. no chance! :smile: I did investigate using vinyl but the advice I got was that due to the very thin application area it wouldn't stick.
