And then there's this

Every time I think I've seen it all, boom. Pulled these and replaced today. Shop previously servicing the sign cut the pans and glued flat panels over them.

Seen that before.
It's called a poor mans pan face

Sweet.

How long until the newbies around here start using this 21st century thinking ?? :Big Laugh

Bid the job a year ago. Didn't get it. Person who did is the one who rigged that mess. Lady who owns the sign parks her lincoln under it. Guess who's lincoln needs repair now. Sign needs much more work then just faces. Working new quote tomorrow. Think I'll get it this time around.

I came across a couple faces like that back in December. Plus a couple different layers of vinyl. Luckily I noticed it from the inside of the face before I spent any time trying to clean the faces, and let the client know it was time for a couple new faces.

there's a restaurant on Plattsburgh that did that same thing. what a cheap crappy way to reface a sign

I've seen it, and I've done it at the bosses request for a small sign (used rivets)

not proud to say it but i have done it. sign has been up 10 years & still looks great. proper materials ensure proper results. those gulf development ****boxes are all over the place & they are all odd shaped, hard to pattern shapes.
