Thanks for the replies. I don't have pics but it was high gloss paint. This company doesn't normally do this type of work. It was originally supposed to be wall graphics. It is script lettering so I figured a few even rolls would do the trick. I think Jesters post is spot on and an excellent tip...

Hi guys! It's not too often I don't do a great job, so when something horrible happens, I feel it's my duty to investigate. I was sent to a new job location with a big roll of thick low tac paint mask and a quart of 1 shot metallic gold. I decided to go with the small foam rollers so I could...

I think it really comes down to knowing the crew and what they can and can't do. I believe wind is the bigger issue then rain.

I agree. I did a 6 floor courthouse last month with 3 stairwells and 3 elevator shafts. I thought it would be easy to figure out where the Fire Emergency Exit plaques went just by looking at the diagram on the plaques themselves. I couldn't have been more wrong. Not even a "You Are Here"

On a lighter note... The plastic ends I used to use fit a soda can exactly. Try it out.

Hi, everyone. Just giving the forum a test drive. Feels pretty comfy in here so far. About me? I like signs. It's fun to see my work out in the open for all the world to see. 12 years so far and not burned out yet. Bounced around 4 sign companies from one doing multi million dollar contracts all...
