A Rainbow Of Possibilities With Custom Metal Signage
Metal signs truly come in any color!
These days, aluminum metal signs are no longer limited to hues of gray or white, but rather may be personalized to any color imaginable! Of course if gray or white is your personal choice, can still be manufactured in those colors. Yet if a radiant red or royal purple matches your business, then your new sign can certainly be made to fit the bill.
*Fun Fact of the Day: Do you realize ALL street signs are not even painted? Not one of them! Instead, they are covered with colored reflective vinyl and then sealed to guarantee the vinyl won't chip or peel.
So can I honestly select ANY color I need for my custom metal sign?
Survey says... YES! How can that happen? Well there happens to be a few different ways depending on the thickness of the aluminum metal you ultimately choose.
What are the standard color options for a normal outdoor yard sign?
Common metal yard signs (most commonly real estate signs) are .040" in thickness. For these signs, there are a host of colors that we have easily accessible and in stock 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 what about something that's a bit more thick and rigid?
Thicker sheets of aluminum (as thick as .080") are also readily available factory painted, but can be modified additionally to create the particular color you desire.
Just like street signs, we are able to cover any sheet of aluminum metal with vinyl in an unending array of colors. The process is fairly simple. The vinyl is applied right after the metal is cut and before your logo, lettering and design is put in place.
If vinyl is not necessarily a look you want, we could spray paint or powder coat your sign to match up your color sample. (This can be perfect should you be looking for something other than the basic color choice offered for .040" thicknesses, too.) Just like going to just about any paint retail store, you can select a sample of the color you would like us to match and our Art Department will go to work finding the ideal mixture of power coating or spray paints to make your color happen!
Still want to see a few tones of a certain color? No problem! Just as you would choose paint for the walls of your business, using samples to hold up and take into consideration, the same can occur in choosing the color of your metal sign. This way you will be sure to get the color you've been picturing in your mind.
Speaking of "vibrant and lasting", just how long will the color of my metal sign last?
Our are rated to last 5-7 years. Whatever color you ultimately choose (and you know there's a lot of possibilities now!) or how it is reached, 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 understand that your color possibilities are endless and the rainbow is yours, why not get started mixing, coordinating and discovering what you could come up with?
Metal is made to be colorful, so spin the wheel!
