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.

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.

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!!
