If you happen to be in Downtown Puyallup, WA, you can see the fool, me, painting a sign on a corragated metal door.

Reminds me of painting trailers with the ribbed siding.... I hope you doubled your price !

Lol!
Fun times in Downtown Puyallup!
Done my fair share of corrugated doors and trailers!
Like Jim said ... double your normal price.

I used to have a small shop for a while on River Road in Puyallup.

That reminds me of the cartoon in SignCraft many years ago on the subject of painting corrugated trailers. The solution was to pound them flat with a hammer and the painter said: "It's still a drag to letter, but I feel so much better now."
I've been to Puyallup a number of times. I attended a convention at the fairgrounds for several days in 1977. My most recent visit was after I dropped Raymond Chapman off at the airport after our workshop at Sawhathisnames a couple years ago. I spent the night there and did a circumnavigation of Ranier and some day hiking before I flew out the next evening.

Harding, do you still have my ShopBot cap that I left in your van?
Posted by David Harding (Member # 108) on :
Yep... and Sawhathisname and that funny talking guy from the other end of Canada haven't changed the label on it either.

Those guys are always messin' with something. I got one of those dawg stitters on my video camera - didn't find it until just a few months ago.

When Timmy Barrow and myself painted the Corregated wall signs in our ballpark you would have the corregated nerve monkey on you as you were trying to eat with a fork. Up and Down Up and Down just like them humps in that corregation...Up and Down Up and Down..........

Ah, jus got back. Not only did I do the back corragated door, I also did the sides of the building. One side was painted block wall the other side was bare 10" x10" brick looking stone. The building was built in 1916. It's gonna be a restaurant. Tommorow I return for a little interior painted lettering. Did I mention it was in the low 40's today.

sounds like it turned into a sweet job! Any photos of the faux stone????
Posted by Rick Sacks (Member # 379) on :
Alicia, do you have any pictures or a new video?
I have a couple rusted corrugated doors to letter when the weather becomes perfect for the job. I'm wondering what paint to use to make it look like its been there forty years. I don't want to loose the rust patina that is only on the surface.

I used to get a headache when lettering on a wall like that. All I could think of while working, was how much faster it could be done if it was flat. Bill
Posted by Si Allen (Member # 420) on :
That's OK, Bill ... but it pays much more than flat work!
Different brushes and different technique, also good exercise!
