Street Sign Blank Suplier?

[Sven]

We will be replacing all street signs in a nearby town to comply with the new 2018 Federal sign standards. Can anyone recommend a reliable supplier of street sign blanks? This is a project that will take a few years, so I want to make sure I can get a consistent supply.

gmr55 asked about transparent vinyl a little while ago. The transparent films are used in conjunction with different grades of reflective to give you colored reflective. Please let me know how I may help you with your brown reflective.

Now that may just be a Florida thing.
