Do you supply touch up paint?

Yes! We have small bottle if touch up paint with brushes we can send to you upon request.

Do the posts need to be put over 4 x 4?

We DO NOT recommend putting 4 x 4’s inside the posts. This makes the posts too stiff and the sign can bend in the sun. The posts and the sign need to move together, keeping the sign flat. The signposts do need to buried in cement in cement the depth is dependent on how high the posts are out of the ground.

How far should the posts be buried in the ground ?

That depends on local sign codes. Typically, 1/3 of the post should be in the ground so an 8' post would be 32" deep.

What type of paint are used by The New Kit? What is the warranty on your paint ?

We use an acrylic latex paint similar to Ronan. Our paints have an additive that ”welds” the paint to the PVC eliminating peeling while increasing the color retention in the sun.

Is PVC OK Outdoors? Indoors?

PVC is made to be outside. Unlike HDU, raw PVC will never degrade or yellow under the suns rays. Even if the surface coating of PVC got damaged the underling material would not absorb water or be damaged by the sun. PVC works fine indoors, as well. Our finish has the look and feel of wood without the maintenance.

How small can a carved letter be?

With NO Serifs, the smallest height can be 1/2" with a stroke of 3/16".

Can you carve detailed logos?

Maybe, we have achieved success carving highly detailed logos into PVC, however, the level of success is based upon the size of the logo and how clean the artwork is that is supplied to us.

How large of a wall sign can you make without having a glue seam?

The maximum length of a wall sign without a glued seem is ten feet. We have made signs up to 26' with glued seams.

Do you offer hand painted logos ?

Yes, we offer hand painted logos for an additional fee. However, we highly recommend using a digitally printed logo on your PVC sign instead of a hand painted logo.
