Do you offer powder-coated finishes for your custom metal signs?
Yes, we offer a range of high-quality powder-coated and raw metal finishes for our custom metal signs, each designed for durability, style, and adaptability to various indoor and outdoor environments. Powder coating provides a strong, thick coating resistant to rust, scratches, and fading, making it ideal for protecting your sign in tough conditions. We have several options to choose from, depending on the desired look and level of protection you need. Here’s an overview of our finishes:
- RAW STEEL - DARK (EVEN BLACK): This raw steel option is a sustainable and recyclable material that varies in color and finish from piece to piece, sometimes even appearing black. Left untreated, it will naturally rust and develop a unique patina that adapts to your specific environment, creating a one-of-a-kind look.
- INDOOR FLAT CLEAR - DARK (EVEN BLACK): Our Indoor Flat Clear finish is a matte oil-based clear coat that deepens the steel’s natural color, sometimes turning it nearly black. This finish is ideal for indoor settings, providing a subtle, easy-to-clean surface while enhancing the steel’s natural appearance.
- OUTDOOR SILVER: This is a bright silver powder coat with a slight sparkle that provides UV protection and stands up to even the harshest outdoor conditions, including wet and salty environments. Powder-coated for durability, this finish is thick, VOC-free, and ideal for long-lasting outdoor use.
- OUTDOOR GLOSS CLEAR: For a sleek, glossy look, the Outdoor Gloss Clear finish darkens the steel, sometimes turning it black. This UV-protected, powder-coated finish offers heavy-duty protection against corrosion in demanding outdoor conditions, making it both practical and attractive.
- OUTDOOR FLAT BLACK: Our Outdoor Flat Black finish is a matte black powder coat designed to withstand the elements. Its UV protection makes it ideal for outdoor environments, resisting rust and fading while providing a clean, modern look that holds up over time.
- OUTDOOR GLOSS WHITE: This glossy white powder coat finish provides UV protection and a bright, clean look suitable for any outdoor setting. Durable and VOC-free, it resists harsh conditions, maintaining its bright color even in challenging environments.
- OUTDOOR GLOSS RED: For a bold, vibrant finish, the Outdoor Gloss Red provides a high-gloss bright red powder coat. UV-protected and suitable for outdoor use, this finish adds a touch of vivid color that is both durable and resistant to weathering.
- ALUMINUM: If you're looking for a lightweight, budget-friendly alternative that offers the look of stainless steel, aluminum is a great option. Rust-proof and weather-resistant, it’s perfect for marine environments, though it requires careful handling to prevent scratches due to its softness.
- ALUMINUM POWDER COAT OPTIONS (GLOSS CLEAR, FLAT BLACK, GLOSS WHITE, GLOSS RED): For added durability on aluminum signs, we offer powder-coated finishes in various colors. These coatings prevent oxidation, chipping, and scratching, and provide UV protection, making aluminum a versatile and resilient choice in any environment.
These finishes are all crafted to ensure your sign remains visually striking and resilient, indoors or outdoors, for years to come. If you’re unsure which finish is best for your space or needs, our team is happy to help guide you toward the right choice.
