I have to make some signs to go on a building at the local airport.. it will be 2 4x8's butted together. There is some existing plywood up there and I need to overlay it with something.. I was thinkin' .080 guage aluminum... what would you suggest? thanks here is a snap shot..

Hiya Peewee, Since you're pretty good with a brush, why don't you just make a pattern and paint it? If not, just about any substrate would work, assuming those bolts holding the plywood to the frame are flush to the surface. If they aren't flush, I would suggest different fasteners so you do have a smooth surface to work with. I would use .040" aluminum. I think .080" aluminum, Dibond or other thicker substrates may be overkill.
Havin' fun,

there are carriage boths holding up the plywood right now.they must stick up I'm guessing 1/16 - 1/8th inch.. The wood that is up there has vinyl hellvetica lettering (yuck!) stuck to it and painted over.. Thanks again you guyz!
