PVC foam for this outdoor sign?

I have a possible customer that wants the sign in the attached pictures, remade. She says that she likes the thick, wood appearance and that it has already been redone and repainted once before. I'm not sure how long ago it was redone, but I know the sign is 25 years old. I was thinking PVC foam if I can get a company in my area to route it for me but wanted to see what you guys thought. Routed PVC foam and paint it or use something else?

HDU or 1" routed PVC would work. We use more PVC than HDU BUT to each his own. I would routed down about 3/16" or 1/4" and it should be just fine

Exterior grade PVC works fine outside. I'd buy a sheet of 1" and a sheet of 1/2". Cut the shape out of 1" and texture it (if desired). Cut the raised border and letters out of 1/2". Paint and then assemble.

I would route pvc and pocket the letters just 1/16 deeper then route the letters out of 12 mil pvc you could also have the other parts done this way and then paint the parts and inset the painted stuff.
