    Nice work.

    How did you get the carbon look on the reverse acrylic sign?

    Just apply carbon vinyl to the back? Looks like a smooth finish, I would have thought the texture would have been an issue.

    It’s all reverse printed on clear then backed off in white (then applied to the back of 10mm acrylic with flame polished edges) – photoshop carbon effect or even just get a pre-done texture from a free site.

    Brilliant result!

    What clear vinyl do you use?

    Actually print laminate…then ‘laminate’ it with print white.

    Do loads of reverse plaques, reverse printed windows etc. Works great.

    Couple more recent ones.

    One of our own (elegance) and just an installation of supplied signage. We do a fair bit of sub-work here and round Scotland. Did pass on putting up a 2 x 1m sign in Orkney though!
