Sign writing

I'd start by copying a chunk of the photo with the triangular sign on it, then with Grids to help me, distort it back to a fairly even shape.  Then put the text on it:

Then fiddle with the text colour so it's more plausible.  Black ain't right, of course.  Here, I used darkish grey, on Multiply mode:

Then group those two layers, move them back into place, lower the opacity of the group, and distort it again so it fits neatly over the real triangle:

Then turn off the spare triangle layer (or delete it entirely).  Then rasterize the type layer, make it a smart object layer instead, and apply a little blur so it's plausible:

Damien when you say move them back into place what do you mean I'm stuck on this bit I've grouped them together and i think I've done it correctly so far
