What Type Of Paint Do I Use For A Headstone?
There is a drawing of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle on my son's headstone (colors are red and green) and the paint is peeling. What type of paint do I use to touch up?

If it is a concrete stone you can clean the stone and then use an outdoor oil base paint with a brush NOT A SPRAY!!!. After it drys completly you should spray it all over with a "ClearCoat" sealer.
My husband painted a concrete birdbath for me several years ago,
using this method and it still to this day looks like new. You can use the cheap brand of AREOSAL "CLEAR COAT" sealer from Walmart. The trick with the paint is to get it in the holes of the concrete evenly so it doesn't start to peel again. My bird bath sets in the front yard in full sun everyday, no shade at all and we keep water in it as well. It has held up great over time, (since spring of 200) God Bless!!!

Actually the paint you use is called Lithochrome. It's an industry standard in painting the engraved side of a monument
I want to paint in the names of my great grandparents on their stones right now you can barely read the names would black be apropos for this task and then use a sealant
