Just completed this sign...11' x 11' approx. I know some people may have declined to do a sign for this sort of establishment but for me it paid well and they were great people to work for.
Comments most welcome

Very Slick. Paint on girl ... not edge print right?
There's a place like that down the road from work that just redid the front of the building in BIG neon letters... the words (Lignere (sp?)- Adult toys - magazines - Video)... every word in a different font and different color of neon ... god awful
Your is MUUUUUCH better

Whitey; I like the sign! Can you please explain what type of substrate it is and who stocks it in 11 ft or greater lengths? Can you also please explain your mounting method? Thanks very much.

It looks great Neil! You are very talented. And there's nothing wrong with doing work that type of place...you know they've got the money to spend! I just thought it was hilarious that they advertised "Bongs" though. There are several places in this town that sell them, but they don't advertise that fact. It reminded me of a sign I saw in an old Cheech & Chong movie I saw this weekend: (It looks like a No Parking sign) Standing Room Only 9pm-6am Getting Loaded Zone

Thanks for all the comments everyone. Mark the woman is all paint, I could of gotten a digital print but prefer to use the airbrush if time permits. Brian the substrate is a new product available in Australia called dura-sign, it is like a highly compressed masonite about 1/4" thick. It comes in sheets 12' x 4' and 9' x 4' pre coated front and back, between the sheets I use a plastic jointing strip which helps when putting the sign up. The sign is attached to metal window frame with tech screws (self drilling screws) Hey RT good to hear from you, yes I have been practicing mate
