newmoon 0 Posted May 17, 2009 This is a project I did a while ago. This is a combination of paint, paint mask and hand lettering,as well as some vinyl. the substrate is 3/4 mdo board. I sealed the edges to make it last longer outdoors. The base paint is oil enamel that was custom mixed for the red color that the customer requested. The pictures dont show the final finished product as it was actually a two panel that faced two different ways. New Moon Graphics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Keystone Chuck 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Did you use MDF? If so does that last long outside even with painting? Chuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newmoon 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Did you use MDF? If so does that last long outside even with painting? Chuck No, I used MDO Board. MDF is different, it wont last out doors. MDF is fiber board. MDO is a type of plywood that is used alot for sign making, but its not pressure treated. you have to seal the edges with a type of water proof compound. I use a wood putty made by Bondo they are the same company that makes auto body filler, it works real well to seal the edges with. MDO is just what i got used to using, I'm sure there are others out there that would work just as good, But I wouldn't recommend MDF for outdoor use.

newmoon 0 Posted May 20, 2009 What type of paint did you use? I used a custom mixed oil based enamel, the customer gave me a paint chip and i took that to the local hardware store and had them mix me up some oil enamel. First i rolled on 2 coats of primer, then i rolled on 2 coats of base color with a foam roller. New Moon Graphics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newmoon, I don't mean to be nosy but I received my cutter a few weeks ago and want to get started soon and my question is what did you charge for that job? It really turned out nice.
