Default Paint for concrete/cement sign

Broadback wrote:
I have a sign for my house set in the grass verge. It has the name of
the property embossed. It is not very clear so I would like to paint
the embossed. So 2 questions, first what paint can I use, preferably
available in small quantities. Secondly would it be an idea to mask
the sign then cut the masking away from the letters, making it easier
to do a neat job? If so what would be a good masking material please?
TIA


I've only done something similar once but FWIW I used plioliote paint
with a paint pad and dabbed v gently rather than brushing. Took several
passes but the result was better than I reckon I could have achieved
with a brush (albeit that's a low threshold).
