Recently, I had a customer that wanted a typical, flat painted sign, and I usually use regular MDO. I have had good luck with MDO, having signs out there that have yet to peel after 12 years. The ones that have been out there the longest were painted using my old method. Caulk the edges, latex primer, 2 coats of one shot for top coat.
This customer I speak of, was dead set on having metal faced MDO because she said hubby said it lasted longer. So, after cutting out this intricate shape, painting it the custom color that they requested, I realized that I had to caulk, prime and paint the edges anyway. It was way too much for trim cap. And now the question.... Does it last any longer in that case?
