Cleaning Sign
Layered 3d sign. Thanks Ben de Lappe for the conversion! Great work again! (Not sure why the one pic turned 90?)

Re: Cleaning Sign
Said a mouthful there lockeyone. I've helped my share here that didn't have it in 'em to say thanks...not why I do it though.
Dave and I go way back, truthfully he could have done the cad work but busy as he is it only makes sense for him to farm out the grubby part. Which fortunately I love.
And yes, thanks Dave for putting up the results...again, stellar.

Re: Cleaning Sign
Great job!
A couple things...
1. How did you hang the smaller pieces? Got a pic of how they're mounted?
2. The colors look awesome! Did you paint that? Is it all vinyl graphics? Use some sort of magic?

Re: Cleaning Sign
Thank you! Yes, Magic!
Here are a couple pics of hangers I use sometimes, like on this project. I got the idea from this site, just added some 3/16" rod on them for standoffs. I put them behind the art, then use a mini offset ratcheting screwdriver to tighten them. I don't know why the pics post at 90 degrees. Not like that on my phone. In the first pic, that is just a shadow coming off of the one side.

Re: Cleaning Sign
For the painting, I bought some water based airbrush paint, it was going to be my first airbrush job because I thought it would be the smoothest way to get the colors to blend to the next. I wasn't having much luck, the paint was drying in the nozzle and there was just too much area to cover. I switched up to my mini spray gun, with the same paint and it went really well. I put a clear coat on top of all of it when done. Pics attached of the paint brand and mini spray gun. I use this same gun whenever I am doing dyes (My dyes not shown, come from Steel F/X OF COURSE!). The 'we proudly use' piece is vinyl over steel. Everything else was white or black powder coat that I painted over.

Re: Cleaning Sign
Thanks for the info. I'm stealing your standoff mount design.

Re: Cleaning Sign
I like that standoff design too. How long do you make the 3/16 rod typically? 3 inches or so?

Re: Cleaning Sign
Stand off length varies by what I'm doing. Usually just enough to get the driver in behind the piece. They work great on these trees that I do also, helps hold the branches in the position I want them.
