Fresh paint on my new shop...whoo whee!

We moved this year to take advantage of the real estate mkt or lack there of in central Fla. I'm 20 min north of Disney so outrageous is the norm. I'm not quite done yet but I thought I would share with the class. Hope y'all dig it! If not please tell me why...I'm always eager fer more learn'en!

 

I'm in a semi rural area so I've employed a little hillbilly bait as i go fishing for dollars. Although I hear they prefer to be called Appalachian Americans.

 

Yeah, it's not exactly high brow art, but its still a staple in the south. And yes some still ask for brush script. Gotta love the simple life!

 

There is alot to see and do that's for sure. Plenty of 'look at me' to attract the tourist dollar. Scenic work year round. Harry potter at universal has been building at incredible speed. 20 acres of theme park in 18 months!

It makes it hard to stand out when you live in 'candy land'. Hence the diamond plate.

 

Tinting is a 'shady business'. It's always on the dark side Mhuaa Ha ha ha.

 

I can dig the unfinished biz on the top-side. Something more has to happen up there. I was going to start with a black outline brushed on by hand for the text. The eye travels up too fast with out a bolder stopping point at the top. If this location works I'll mount some channel letters.

And the corona logo go inside, pressed against the palm of my hand at 3:30 every afternoon on most days but today its jagermeister and its raining, so we started at 10:30.

 

You're right! I found an opportunity to move in to a former store that went under due to mismanagement and refaced what was there and tried to make it impossible to pass with out seeing.

It really should go, and will, if this location is working out. It's very 1995.

I was considering using the first garage for spray in bed liners. Did I mention the rural nature of Florida? Believe it or not, it's still the south.

 

I believe drinking is mandatory for watching it rain in the south. Let's have another round! Cheers!

 

Thanks for the kind words, that's exactly what I was reaching for. This is a rather conservative area. Has alot of 3rd and 4th generation families that worked in citrus and never had a reason to leave. Our downtown just got rebuilt with only a handful of buildings left to be rehabbed. So picture perfect that tv/movie crews are always shooting something. No palm trees so it's downtown 'everywhere USA'.

 

I grew up in Okeechobee and used to see turkey, deer, hog and plenty-o-gator everywhere.
Camping on the lake and canals was like primal Heaven. AHhhh the good 'ol days!

Had a sticker on my truck for years that said 'support wildlife - party in the woods'.
