Before you send them your money, you might wanna check with GJ member, 'Call Me the Breeze.' He's a cracker jack sign painter.

Check out the battle of the Killer Clock and Can threads.

I'm glad I can letter and pinstripe because we are going to do just that. I learned to do it as a hobby years ago. A shop sign for our garage. Just haven't decided what we like yet ........ :thumbup:

You're a paint slinger and you ain't in on the Battle of the Killer Klocks?

WTF?

Getting to old to have the need to prove I'm better than the next guy. Let someone else have the glory, my days have passed.....

My neighbor owns a graphics shop.

IIRC, she charged me about $300 in 2006. She used a picture of my mustang to make the sign. It's all 3 D, with each part sitting proud from the piece behind it. You might be able to tell the car's antenna is a piece of wire. I thought that was a nice touch.

I put a spot light on top of my garage door opener that points at it. It runs off the garage door light.

This is a sign/wall art piece that I made for my Jeep garage. It's made from layered pieces of MDF with LED head lights. I used real tire tread pieces.

The Tool Issue sign is a cast off from the power plant were I work.

Hey! That's really cool! I guess you need lotsa hammers with a Jeep, huh?

Thanks for the Kind words guys.

My wife had this one made for me by http://www.therealwoodman.com/ he does outstanding work.

shopnut · Aug 1, 2011

I always thought a custom sign would look good up on one of the rafters. What I had in mind was something that read "The ASYLUM" at one of the red spots in the picture, probably the back one. Maybe even some backlighting to really make it pop at night.

It's still under debate, but these wood rafters will most likely be covered with more white vinyl to match the rest of the second story in the shop. Unfortunately, its not the nicest looking wood, otherwise I would just stain/seal them or something.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: I made a sign that I believe fits in fairly well...

At my high school they have a 15x5 CNC machine and they also have a Epilog Laser engraver.

I got to use the Epilog for so of my wood work

Here's a pic of my sign. It's not on the shop...but on the driveway leading to it. Bob

burleyfarm · Dec 16, 2012

Had this one done a few years ago as a tribute to my parents.

Chaz · Dec 17, 2012

THe Gas sign is an old tire cover from an RV. Painted by a buddy I've called "Hippie Bob" for 20 years. His work is always 100% awesome.

JC23 · Dec 17, 2012

Nice! And clever!

The Hot Rod Grille · Dec 17, 2012

I built this sign to hang over the backbar of the soda fountain in The Hot Rod Grille garage. I cut, bent and spot-welded the polished stainless steel and had a local sign shop create the 3-color neon based on my sketch. It's 6 feet long.

There are some awesome signs pic'd here. Glad this thread got revived. Nothing beats a handcrafted sign.

Thanks guys. My parents had a small dealership to help support their small fleet of over the road trucks. They leased to Middle Atlantic Transportation. They sold trucks, tractors, refrigerators etc. Wish they were still alive. They'd get a kick out of the sign.

12valve · Dec 29, 2012

Here is my 3 diamond logo to share, although you can't see the logo all that well. First time I have posted a picture so I hope it works.

skulldrinker · Dec 30, 2012

If you're in Vegas and need signs or banners or tshirts call on my brother Mike who has a sign shop there. He is right down the street from "As Seen on TV - Rick's Restoration" he has done signs for him also. Tell him skulldrinker sent you.
