Go-C Graphics 856 Posted July 8, 2014 I've got a cheap customer on my hands here. I'm quoting him a 4'x8' sign for the side of his building It's going to be outsideand I was going to use Max-metal. Is this a good substrate to use in this situation? Will coroplast work? What are some other options for outdoor substrates? Other question is how to mount it? It's a block building doesn't want any fancy border or special mounts. What's the best way to mount it? Just use some tap-cons? Thanks for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted July 8, 2014 Any kind of long term I'd stay away from coro. Maxmetal is very good for that application and tapcons would be a good choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakotagrafx 7,297 Posted July 8, 2014 when they figure in the cost of the substrate it just doesn't make sense - most of the cost is in the vinyl and application so saving $40 for such a short term item like coro just doesn't compute for the side of a blg. over an aluminum composite 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mac6986 93 Posted July 8, 2014 Max Metal and Tapcon's,thats your best bet right there. Personally, I cant stand exposed fasteners, I would throw some screw caps over the tapcons to match the substrate. He may not want to go crazy, but each job you do is like a visual resume to possible new customers. Make it look presentable. Remember, the customer doesn't know what they want until YOU tell them what they want. In this situation, I wouldn't have even suggested coro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
