Not Your Common Color Wheel
Metal signs really can come in any color!
These days, aluminum metal signs are no longer limited to shades of gray or white, but rather may be customized to any color you can possibly imagine! Of course if gray or white is your personal liking, can still be made in those colors. But if a vivid green or a rustic orange suits your small business, then your new sign can readily be made to meet your requirements.
*Fun Fact from SignsUS: Did you know ALL street signs aren't even painted? Not one of them! Instead, they are covered with colored reflective vinyl and then sealed to ensure the vinyl will not chip or peel.
So can I really get ANY color I would like for my custom metal sign?
Survey says...YES! So how exactly does that take place? Well there are a few different methods depending on the thickness of the aluminum metal you have chosen.
What are the standard color options for a regular outdoor metal sign?
Basic metal yard signs (in most cases 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 production house, which include:
- 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 how about something that is a little more thick and rigid?
Thicker panels of aluminum (as thick as .080") are also readily available factory painted, nevertheless can be customized additionally to attain the particular color you would like.
Much like street signs, you can cover any sheet of aluminum metal signage with vinyl in an endless array of colors. The procedure is rather simple. The vinyl is applied immediately after the metal is cut and prior to your logo, lettering and design is printed into place.
If vinyl is not necessarily a look you would like, we can easily spray paint or powder coat your sign to coordinate your color sample. (This can be great should you be looking for something other than the basic color choice offered for .040" thicknesses, too.) Just like going to almost any paint store, you decide on a sample of the color you would like us to match and our Art Department will go to work creating the perfect blend of power coating or spray paints to make your color transpire!
Still want to view a few colors of a particular color? No problem! As you would pick out paint for the walls of your business, getting samples to hold up and take into consideration, the same can occur in choosing the color of your . This way you will be sure to get the color you've been seeing in your mind.
Speaking of "vibrant and lasting", how long will the color of my metal sign last?
Our custom metal signs are rated to last 5-7 years. Regardless of what color you choose (and you know there's tons of choices now!) or how it is accomplished, a clear UV protective laminate is applied to all metal signs to help it resist color attacking agents including weather, the sun, pollution, rust, etc.
Now that you know that your color opportunities are endless and the rainbow is yours, why not get started combining, coordinating and finding what you might come up with?
Metal is made to be colorful, so spin the wheel!
