Cut vinyl under same color change vinyl as a car.

I would cut one of the signs 0.1 oversized. After gluing trim it with trim router. Brush two coats of acrylic paint on the edge. Sand it it with 220gr. Apply two coats of paint with a spray gun.

Here is my feedrate for aluminum. .25 single flute. 120 ipm xy, 65 ipm z. Pass .065" Cold air gun ON.

I got specs from architect for 72"x72" 1" thick steel sign . Hanging above entrance. I called him an idiot and he settled for .125 aluminum with 1" return. Architect worried about look.

What you want is multi zone vacuum table at least 4'x8' with 6" Z stroke. Minimum 3hp spindle not router. ATC if you can afford it. you should be able to find somthing new in 6-25k range depends where is it made.

You have to use squeeze bottle with needle. Apply light pressure and release slightly. Suction will keep solvent from dripping.

HDU and PVC letters, PVC painted background, digital print.

It looks like a direct to substrate printer.

Lexan comes in rolls of 52", 100" etc wide. My supplier has 3/16 only. The trick is to hang it from a top of the frame so it does not sag. To do so you should glue additional strip of lexan to the top of the sign face.

Acrylic or Lexan comes to mind.

I did simulation in my software. Plywood with 6mm bit at 150 ipm 23min PVC 6mm 200 ipm bit 20min. Inside pieces large enough for my vacuum so no tabs. To change sheets and clean a table 10-12min.

I would also consider option putting letters on top of the wall. Unless name of the company cannot be made this way 1) Cast concrete poured on site in the mold. 2) "L" shaped flat cut aluminum or stainless steel. Will take less than two hours of installation, if you make them in 10' sections.

We used to build those for local DR Horton in SC and GA. they are PT lumber frame with 3mm acm overlay. They usually keep them for up to two years.
