This is very helpful to paint the numbered surfaces later.
Depending on the respective painting material, it is advisable to have a small container with a little water on hand in order to dilute the colors if necessary or pin it in.

If all colors are well dried, you have to seal the image with a final lacquer to protect it from external influences, such as sunlight. The colors do not fade exclusively.
Step 4: Finished picture
You can hang the finished grinding of numbers at home or make someone happy as a gift. Be proud to have created a nice work of art with your own hands.
