Here it is proudly in place above the new shop...
Back to the lovely Kota Kai restaurant in Porthleven last week to add some more (large) lettering to the front of the building - now nobody can miss it!
Exciting week spent in Polruan boatyard signwriting this 56ft fishing trawler, the lettering was half a metre high and needed scaffolding and a cherry picker to reach.
Need a sign painted high up? No problem!
Spent last week in Exeter learning to drive one of these (Mobile elevating work platforms) so we can now sign write all those high up and difficult to reach places!
This was a sign for a private house, gold paint onto opaque glass. Generally it is best to paint glass in reverse on the back surface as this protects the paint from wear and enhances the gloss finish, however due to inaccessibility and opacity of the glass in this case the paint was applied to the front. It worked very well!
