Concrete wall cover up sign question

[ozpall]

Hello,
I have a client that wants me to cover up the name the have on the wall right now,
so just looking for recommendations on what would be some of the options i can give them. i was thinking something like screwing max metal but since it so long not sure how its going to look with multiple panels.
any input much appreciate it.
thank you.

Since it's smooth concrete where the name is you could probably get the MaxMetal panels to line up and butt together correctly, unlike what would happen on the brick. It would be even smoother to screw either treated lumber stringers or square aluminum tube to the wall and then screw the sign panels to the tubing. Then you can actually make the sign larger than the concrete area so you just see brick behind it. That way you also don't have to put the masonry screws through the MaxMetal. In fact, if you want to get tricky you can use a no visible fastener mounting. Or you could attach the sign panels to a frame that holds them all together and use standoffs to mount.

You're kidding, right?

He said they want it covered up 'right now', so I'm reading temporary.

not a fan of fasteners through the face, but if they don't mind it then let'r'rip!

I'd be doing studded aluminum panels with textured paint to match or contrast existing, with new aluminum or PVC lettering mounting atop

I'd sell a banner today, then a 2" framed aluminum panel, hung with 90s, mount some cast gemini or flat cut painted letters to it.

I'm doing some student athlete of the year for a school, plaques with names for every year going back to the 70's, except for 2000 in the boys section, its just a blank line. Couldn't even be bothered to slap in Jesus in place. Now I'm sure everyone at the school will be asking shortly.

i see where you going thank you for the ideas. i like the idea of using something behind instead of the maxmetal directly on the wall. thanks!

It says "they have on the wall right now" not "cover up right now"

To be fair, it says 'the have on the wall right now', you did better than I at reading between the lines, but I do see now.

just updating the name

Did St Pete get a promotion? Archangel Peter just doesn't land the same to me. Or are they out right changing the name?

Building a 1" or 2" frame of aluminum tubing and attach 6mm to the frame would be ideal. 3mm will warp/wave too much. Hopefully it won't be a dark color background.

edit: I thought the OP meant temporarily the way it was worded..... or not worded. I was gonna suggest attaching tyvek to the signs with small tacons.
