Not The Average Color Wheel
Metal signs really can come in any color!
These days, aluminum metal signs are no longer restricted to hues of gray or white, but rather can be tailored to any color you can possibly imagine! Of course if gray or white is your personal choice, can still be manufactured in those colors. However if a radiant green or royal purple suits your organization, then your new sign can easily be made to fit the bill.
*Fun Fact from SignsUS: Did you know ALL street signs are not even painted? Not one of them! Instead, they are covered with colored reflective vinyl and then sealed to make certain the vinyl doesn't chip or peel.
So can I honestly choose ANY color I want for my custom metal sign?
Survey says...YES! How does that come about? Well there are a few different approaches depending on the thickness of the aluminum metal you choose.
So what are the basic color options for a typical outdoor yard sign?
Standard metal yard signs (most commonly real estate signs) are .040" in thickness. For these signs, there are a host of colors that we have readily accessible and in store at SignsUS manufacturing house, for example:
- Black
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Red
- Orange
- Brushed Silver
- Mirrored Silver
- Brushed Gold
- Mirror Gold
These colors are factory painted aluminum colors and are available ready for printing and cutting.
Well what about something that is a bit more thick and rigid?
Thicker panels of aluminum (as thick as .080") are also readily available factory painted, however can be modified additionally to create the precise color you wish.
The same as street signs, we are able to cover any sheet of aluminum metal signage with vinyl in an endless array of colors. The process is rather easy. The vinyl is applied just after the metal is cut and before your logo, lettering and design is printed into place.
If vinyl is not necessarily a look you want, we can easily spray paint or powder coat your sign to meet your color sample. (This can be good if you're searching for something other than the basic color collection offered for .040" thicknesses, too.) Similar to going to just about any paint retailer, you can choose a sample of the color you would like us to match and our Art Department will go to work seeking the perfect combination of power coating or spray paints to make your color happen!
Still want to see a few hues of a specific color? No problem! Just as you would pick out paint for the walls of your business, getting samples to hold up and consider, the same can occur when selecting the color of your . By doing this you will be sure to get the color you've been imagining in your mind.
Speaking of "vibrant and lasting", just how long will the color of my metal sign last?
Our custom metal signs are rated to last 5-7 years. It doesn't matter what color you decide on (and you know there's a great deal of choices now!) or how it is produced, a clear UV protective laminate is used on all metal signs to help it resist color attacking agents including weather, the sun, pollution, rust, etc.
Now that you know that your color choices are endless and the rainbow is yours, why not get started blending, matching and seeing what you might come up with?
Metal is made to be colorful, so spin the wheel!
