Not Your Normal Color Wheel
Metal signs truly can come in any color!
These days, aluminum metal signs are no longer limited to tones of gray or white, but rather can be customized to any color possible! Certainly if gray or white is your personal choice, can still be made in those colors. However if a lively red or a rustic orange fits your small business, then your new sign can readily be made to work for you.
*Fun Fact of the Day: Did 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 ensure the vinyl does not chip or peel.
So can I honestly choose ANY color I would like for my custom metal sign?
Survey says...YES! So how exactly does that happen? Well there are a few different techniques depending on the thickness of the aluminum metal you choose.
So what are the basic color options for an everyday outdoor yard sign?
Basic metal yard signs (most often real estate signs) are .040" in thickness. For these signs, there are many colors that we have easily accessible and in store at SignsUS manufacturing 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 come ready for printing and cutting.
Well what about something that is a bit more thick and rigid?
Thicker sheets of aluminum (as thick as .080") are also readily available factory painted, but can be personalized even more to create the precise color you desire.
The same as street signs, we are able to cover any sheet of aluminum metal with vinyl in an infinite range of colors. The process is fairly simple. The vinyl is applied just after the metal is cut and just before your logo, lettering and design is implemented.
If vinyl is not really a look you would like, we could spray paint or powder coat your sign to match your color sample. (This is good if you're searching for something other than the basic color choice offered for .040" thicknesses, too.) Similar to going to just about any paint store, you can select a sample of the color you would like us to match and our Art Department will go to work seeking the ideal blend of power coating or spray paints to make your color transpire!
Still want to view a few hues of a distinct color? No problem! Just like you would select paint for the walls of your business, using samples to hold up and think about, the same can occur in choosing the color of your . That way you will be sure to get the color you've been seeing 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. Whichever color you choose (and you know there's numerous possibilities now!) or how it is produced, a clear UV protective laminate is used on all metal signs to help it resist color attacking agents such as weather, the sun, pollution, rust, etc.
Now that you know that your color options are endless and the rainbow is yours, why not get started blending, matching and seeing what you can come up with?
Metal is made to be colorful, so spin the wheel!
