    Hi I have a client who wants some distressed looking signs

    Was thinking along the lines of rusty steel or verdigris copper letters

    there are also some large letters required and was thinking of applying some external artex type material to cut out letters and then painting has anyone done anything like this or got any suggestions – is there an external artex?

    If using steel I don’t mind it oxidizing to get the rust look but don’t really want rust stains down the building so any suggestions on how to halt the process

    any help gratefully received

    Colin
