Restoring headstone, best paint
Discussion
I'm planning to "restore" a headstone which has been in place for 15+ years. It's granite with various inscriptions etc in three colours, red, green and silver.
Any suggestions on the best paint to use? Seen rust-oleum, zinnser etc but they are all large tins. I just need three small pots.
Don't want to spend 60 quid on paint when I can get a company to do it for 100 but I would like to do it myself.

I had to arrange burial in the same plot as her previously deceased husband ( who had been buried for some 40 years ) for a relative a couple of years ago.His black granite headstone needed proper chemical cleaning and the inscription needed re gilding and then words added for his wife - the regilding with gold leaf was £ 3.39 a letter and the new hand incised lettering £ 8.82 a letter.
