Have you tried testing with a different roll of vinyl

What colors is the sign going to be? I have noticed a lot of large reflective prints lately (including a town welcome sign) that are impossible to read. Reflective signs are often best with either the background or the text reflective, not both.

We've done it on PVC and Acrylic letters. If you want to paint use acrylic.

Looks like this is the one that fell

This is why people get a little heated sometimes about doing things right...(of course it could be the fault of the property owner for not maintaining the sign) Sign Blown by Wind Strikes, Kills Man in Hunting Park | NBC 10 Philadelphia

Yep, but prefer those phone calls to some others....

The only time I use plywood for "Real Estate" signs is when it is absolutely specified. In which case a buy a sheet of pre primed MDO and if needed finish with a coat of oil based bulletin enamel. If the customer doesn't spec I use alumalite, ACM or 10mm coro for a economy job. (and some of us...

The monument has to be well built and in good shape for a plate mount. But at least this one also has a vertical column to fasten too also. I worked at another shop where did one on a brick base using the bolted plate method. The base was solid and the anchors seemed very sturdy. A few weeks...

We've done a few with a paper pattern. Instead of punching with an awl we cut out a little triangle where each corner is ahead of time. Tape the pattern in place and lightly draw the corners in with a pencil.

Easiest, most economical like skyhigh said, or like dfleming, but unless done right and the masonry is really solid that could be pushed over.

Double sided? Won't the back face the building?

That's what I've got...

I thought this was a Letterhead font I have, but it's different. Pretty sure it's a font, it's not hand done. Any ideas? Thanks

First it's a really ugly sign, so I would definitely offer the option of a new updated sign design, in HDU since it's all paint finishes. Other than that it seems a simple project, though I don't see why you included "sandblasting" as part of the restoration process. I would just fill any areas...

I think hiring a local pro photographer is a great idea. They can get the exact shot they want and maybe use it in other marketing materials.

For those that do this wet, I assume you are using a vinyl with a plastic carrier sheet?

Yea, hate pre-assembling layers and fortunately seldom have to do it anymore. It's tough to both line it up and get enough smooth even pressure when it's on a carrier sheet.
