Matthews is our go-to paint. Brad is absolutely correct, and one thing he didn't mention is they also have a system where you can load a spray can with any mixed color. And you mix in catalyst that is in the spray can before you apply. A bit pricy but it's there if you need on site spray...
I love ADA projects. Have a reputable company make them, mark them up and charge for the installation, fairly simple money. Here's a funny story. When ADA signs first became necessary I was doing a school and the architect specified Braille for all the projecting signs over the hall doors and...
Bill once you see Signgold next to Real Gold you’ll never want Sign Gold again. The color is much more true to actual gold, far superior. The people are great to deal with also
Quote it, make sure your covered. If it feels right, add 10 or 20%. Don’t worry about what someone else is charging, they have their own expenses, you need to quote based on yours.
Hanley is my go to LED they are priced right, have a good selection for various depths of letter or box and I’ve had zero issues. Why pay premium prices for the same result?
We ran into this issue on a project. I spoke with The Matthews tech people and the Alupanel people and both told me getting paint to stick to the polyethylene is highly unlikely.
The path of least resistance is to use ACP with a gray core.
Tell the client the project is really two seperate jobs. One is to produce useable artwork, the other is to produce the labels. Get paid for the first job and then proceed to the second.
First payment will give you a hint of how long their payment cycle is.
A stomp shear works well, get an 8' or 10'. Peck, Stow & Wilcox makes a good one, they've been around for decades. You don't need a new stomp shear. Mine was made in 1958, still is working great, I bought it in about 1980.
Check out Hanley LED go to their web site. They have a tool that helps you spec the correct Modules. That rope stuff you are showing is DYI, stay away.
Gary, I have a CJV 150-160 with the 8 color setup. the color gamut is great but the printer runs slow. My 10 year old Roland was faster. I'd keep that in mind if I were you. Good luck.
I'll bet it's a primer issue. If the paint isn't latex, (I have no experience with that on signs) moisture in the air lines or damp atmosphere will cause the paint to blush
which gives a blotchy finish.
