Our customer - a medical company is looking for a "sleek, clean, expensive looking" sign. They want to have cast metal letters attached to a dark blue panel - 36" x 66". It's just their name and logo.
They want the material to be the actual color of the sign - i.e. blue acrylic panel. They are not interested in painted panels. They suggested acrylic I have been told that 1" acrylic panels only come in clear and black. They need dark blue.
We've checked into PVC board but once again the 3/4" material only comes in white and we would have to laminate a blue panel on top. You will be able to see the different colors and they want the entire thing blue.
No Alumalite because she doesn't want and edge cap.
HELP. We have been racking our brain for a medium that is thick enough and is dark blue. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you. Diane

Have you ever used anodized aluminum or stainless? You can bend it up like a pan face to get the 1" depth. Try "Prismatic" @ 908-241-5640. They have a great line of textured and specialty metals. Good Luck!

Is this going to be a wall mounted sign? I would guess that with 1"x36'x66' solid plastic plus metal casted letters and logo is going to be heavy.. I myself would talk them into a lighter background substrate with the cast letters.. HD foam or HD partical Board with a autobody finish and clear. or sintra done the same way..
