Hi everyone. This Is my first post as a resident. I was asked by the manager to come down and look at this wall & see if I could sign write it. He had 3 sign writers down before me and they ALL said thay you can not hand paint a logo on a wall that has been ribbed rendered & besides, it is too large to hand write! FIDDLE STICKS!!! I scaled up and marked out the ECOLAB which is 18m long. The text underneath I pounced. After 3 days on the job I had it finished.

Clinton, here's your pics for you.
The problem is you have lower case letters in bullboard ... it should be BullBoard!
Nice job by the way.

Great Job there Clint... like all trailers don't have ribs... I remember years ago I was contracted to do 4 trailers, I looked at one and gave a price, this one was smooth, I did 3 of them in about 36 hours... then I went to do the fourth... you guessed it, continuous ribs, like an old time washboard, 48 hours later I finished.

Welcome aboard mate, great work!

Nice job!! When the graphics are big like that, metal ribs aren't a big deal. What kind paint did you use?
Posted by Clinton Cooper (Member # 6802) on :
Hey Duncan, The ribs were varying, uneven deep and thin and made from jagged concrete render,(I'll snap a photo) If they were metal I would have had a much easier time. The paint I used is Solver Low Sheen Acrylic. I it awsome for vinyl banners and big jobs!!

Can't do ribs? Hell, we BBQ ribs all the time.. Cant do wall ribs? I'll do them.. Charge a little more,, But I'll do them.. ITs not as easy,, but then it pays more...

Barvo!Great looking job, Clinton! I think that concrete would be a bit easier that metal ribs. Welcome aboard! Judy
