That's is very cool.
I had the opportunity to buy the Pounce Patterns for some billboard signs at one time.. but Passed as I didn't know what I was going to do with them.
if your not familiar with pounce patterns they where patterns of these large murals with little holes along the edges of the graphics where the painter would hang them on the building, then with a chalk back , pounce it on the image along the lines.. they'd remove the pattern leaving behind the chalk outline to give them the outline to paint the billboard.
The coolest use I had seen was a guy who painted a Coca-Cola billboard similar to this on the bottom of his Swimming pool... Pretty cool but of course cant' find that photo..

Will that fit in your shop as a wall somewhere?.. That is really a nice piece of history... reminds me of the wall they had at the Coca-Cola Museum in Kentucky that closed Schmidt (Spelling?) Muesum... anyway they had a barn wall type display like that. I would love to paint one of those on a old barn or wall.... Again great piece of history there.... Awesome! |

Exterior wall it will be cleaned and 3 coats of semi gloss clear will be put on it to protect it.
It was already apart when I bought it but roughly 30-35 pieces.

Back in the late 70s, there was a shed by the side of the road, painted w/a Coke sign. A few years later, I saw someone dismantling it. I stopped to ask what they were going to do w/it. I was told they were going to make some kind of "craft" things with the old barn wood. Talk about desecration!! I never did like crafts.

That will make an awesome backdrop with a bunch of machine in front of it. Perfect for a gameroom.

That's really cool. I have a wood sign that came off a store with the same silhouette on it.

There used to be a Coca Cola sign on my place from the 1930's that was painted over along time ago someday I hope to uncover it and have it restored

How do you go about removing the paint without damaging the signage?

So far all I've used is a putty knife. The tan paint comes off fairly easy but I don't want to remove too much till I know the best way. I was just testing a spot to see if it was still there. I think it helps that the sign was the first thing pained on the brick.

A friend of mine dad was the last sign painter in rome ga and surrounding area. He retired in 1986 and took all the template with him . He has that painted on the side of his garage and it looks great . I have not had the guts to ask him but he is in his 90s now I think I need to borrow one of his template .
