subject: Taste The Rainbow With Aluminum Metal Signs [print this page] 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 custom-made in any color imaginable! Of course if gray or white is your personal choice, metal signs can still be produced in those colors. But if a lively red or royal purple sign suits your business or organization, then your custom metal business signs can be made to suit your needs.
*Fun Fact of the Day: Did you know ALL street signs aren't even painted? Not one of them! They're actually covered with colored reflective vinyl and then sealed to guarantee the vinyl doesn't chip or peel.*
So can I really select ANY color I want for my custom metal sign?
Survey says...YES! And how can that be? Well there are a few different ways to get brightly colored aluminum signs. Which method you choose depends on the thickness of aluminum you select.
What exactly are the standard color choices for an everyday outdoor metal sign sign?
Basic metal yard signs (most often real estate signs) are.040" in thickness. For these signs, aluminum metal is readily available in the following colors:
* Black
* Yellow
* Green
* Blue
* Red
* Orange
* Brushed Silver
* Mirrored Silver
* Brushed Gold
* Mirror Gold
These are the colors of factory painted aluminum. This aluminum metal material is then ready to be printed on and cut.
Well how about something that is a little more thick and rigid?
Thicker sheets of aluminum (as thick as.080") can also come factory painted, but can be modified further to become the exact color you desire.
Just as with street signs, you can cover aluminum metal with vinyl in any color from the color wheel. The process is simple. The vinyl is applied after the metal is cut and before your logo, lettering and design is printed in place.
But if the color your desire for your aluminum sign is not available factory painted, and you do not wish to use colored vinyl on your new sign, we can spray paint or powder coat your sign to match your color sample. Just as you would hold up and consider many color samples to select the perfect hue when painting your business walls, you can select a specific shade of any color for your new metal sign, and then the Art Department goes to work producing the perfect blend of power coating or spray paints to make it happen!
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. Whatever color you ultimately choose (and you now know there are tons of choices!) or how you choose to achieve that color, a clear UV protective laminate is used for all metal signs to help it resist color attacking agents such as weather, the sun, pollution and rust.
Now that you understand that your color options are endless and the rainbow is yours, why not get started mixing, coordinating and seeing what you can come up with? Metal is made to be colorful, so spin the wheel!
