Quit buggin' me
Hi all,
I have a request from a customer to do a display on the front of a Car dealership.
They want them offset from the building and contour cut around some images of vehicles.
We do a ton of this type work but it has all been interior display, so the materials & framing are mostly lightweight & stay up only as long as the promotion lasts.
I could use some pointers on doing this outdoors.
Weather is a little rough here - high humidity, heavy winds once in a while with lots of heat and sun - but no worries about freezing.
There are almost no wooden framed buildings or houses here - everything is concrete or steel.
I'm thinking print on routed metal with aluminum square tubing for framing/runners to provide the offset.
There is no local suppler for polymetal type panels but I could bring in a shipment in if needed.
Best I could buy locally would be aluminum sheets up to about 3/16".
There are shops here with tables big enough to do the routing of the aluminum.
The images will be larger than can fit on a single 4x8 so I'll need to do some joining of the panels.
The building face is smooth concrete.
So any words of wisdom from the list?
thanks
