    Hi

    I need to maker some projection signs for a customer but they want them to be brushed finish and I can’t find a double sided brush finish material. I’ll have to flood coat a panel with brushed vinyl finish to achieve it but though I would find out if anybody knows of a product that already exists?

    cheers

    Not sure how your creating them but can’t you just back to back sheets?

    yes but would just cost more than using vinyl and then I’ll have to bond them togather and make sure it’s straight and then it would be thicker with 2 black edges (if using composite)

    Thought I would check first if anybody knew of any ready made materials out there.

    cheers

    Most sheet metal companies could supply you with brushed stainless steel cut to size that way you don’t get the ugly black edge that or it alluminium grained but the it would need anodising to stop it corroding.

    remember vinyl and sheet might not match together

    The Avery brushed aluminium has the same finish on the adhesive as the front.

    printing black on what looks like silver… does indeed produce stunning results.
