Title: Outside signs
Post by: Gumbo on September 18, 2008, 06:51:59 am
What is the best thing to put on your outside signs to help reduce the breakdown (rust) do to the weather. I have a nice sign, painted metel, from the 50's. It has a little rust on on it, but nothing very bad. I have it hanging outside on my backporch. The porch is covered, so the sign does not get rained on, but it is still "outside". Should I spray some clear Polyurethane  or Rustoleumon on it.

I'm thinking, car wax. Two, three times per year.

The rain isnt going to kill the sign, its the sun, Porcelain is the best to hang outside, Use a very good quality automotive wax on it.
