I've had 2 customers this week pick off colors that I never mentioned....like burgandy and terra cotta and possibly dark brown (not bronze brown). The company has lots of other colors in aluminum....and coroply. I saw in signcraft once... poor mans alumilite. So whats the best adhesive is the bottom line question I guess. And has anyone had time tested results.
Thanks,
ps...I've been using the pvc trim for pvc lattice for a richer look & love it!

Just a reasonable suggestion... Take your alumalite or like product like Dibond (my choice) and paint it to specs. If mixing colors are a problem. Find someone that can do it for you. Most good paint shops can match any color. It is a qualification that you should possess as a signmaker. If you don't I would make it a major direction for your studies. I would not want to take on the problems warranting a product that I tossed together myself as a poor man's source. Your time is much better served in the studies of primary color mixing and application. Bronzeo

Like Jack said I wouldn't make my own. If I needed a certain color I'd coat it out in vinyl though as I don't paint.
