TaterNuts 3 Posted August 8, 2007 glossy painted bricks, yes... but not just brick. get yourself some good substrate and anchor it to the wall... It will last longer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godstrong1 2 Posted August 8, 2007 thanks for the advice guys! do you guys think i will be better to use banner for the brick wall? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fivestar Posted August 8, 2007 It would be better for you to use something like painted aluminum for a permanent sign. A banner would be fine if it is gonna be temporary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stickygrafix 2 Posted August 8, 2007 personally I would use aluminum or even a sheet of coroplast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godstrong1 2 Posted August 10, 2007 where can i buy aluminum or coloplast? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hairyconiption 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Other local sign shops will usually sell coroplast to you for 24-25 a sheet, which if you are only buying one sheet is a good price. Just don't mention what you need it for :?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
