The entire Monument sign is epoxy primed, then finished with modern acrylic urethane automotive finish coats, to insure that it continues to look good for many years.  Even though these paints and primers are five times more expensive the long-term results are well worth the price.

IS PAINT QUALITY IMPORTANT TO ME?  Look at the letters at the right.  The sign looked good when new, but even the plastic has lasted longer than the paint (this sign is only 2 years old.)  What is your impression of this business?

In fact, the same paint is used by BMW, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, and many other luxury automobile manufacturers to paint their cars!

Metals can be painted with either solid color or "metallic" finishes.

The interior of the sign is painted reflective white with Solar Finishes™ "Bright Reflective White" to increase light output through the sign faces and even light distribution.

New paint products have been introduced which increase the apparent light output of lighting by 100%, but do not affect the lifetime nor increase the energy consumption of the lighting at all.  Signs Manufacturing uses this new Solar Finishes™ "Bright Reflective White" paint inside every set of channel letters we produce.

Signs Manufacturing uses Wyandotte Grip-gard, Grip-flex and Meta-flex paints and two-part primer systems.

Wyandotte, by Akzo Coatings, offers compatible systems of very durable, high solid yet flexible paints specifically formulated for applications on metals, plastics, and flexible materials.  These paints do not chip off the surface because of heat-freeze cycles.  The paints are UV stabilized to virtually eliminate fading.

Signs Manufacturing owns its own paint intermix system.  The system features the latest in paint mixing technology; more sophisticated than a paint store's.

Our painters are factory-trained and certified.

An astonishing 32,807 colors can be mixed.  Colors for various applications (the metal frame and the sign face as an example) can match.  Virtually all PMS (Pantone) colors can be closely matched.

Painting air is cleaned and dried twice before entering the paint booth, and again before painting.

 Our state-of-the-art paint booth, 25’ by 25’ by 16’ tall, with full-sized entry/exit doors on each end, filters the air coming into the booth as well as the air discharge.  (The booth even has its own built-in explosion-proof lifting crane.)

Our painting is virtually blemish-free.

Plastic and flexible sign-face materials are painted translucently so that the sign face lights in color at night.

Not all sign companies do this!
