VERY nice! I’ve never used SignGold:(

Hiya Steve,

I don’t know if you can get it in the UK, but if you can, try it. Cuts and weeds just like anything else and it looks like nothing else!

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Try this address:
SignGold@hotmail.com
or http://www.SignGold.com
It is real 23 carat gold with a Tedlar cover.
(for lack of a technical definition)
Comes in several finishes such as Florentine
or engine-turned. It has a 10-14 year life,
and is very very thin.
I am sure it is sold in the UK.
I like it because you can get a cool CD
when you purchase a starter kit.
It is quite expensive, but that can be figured in
to the cost of your estimate.
Love…Jill

cracking work there mate.. 😛
i do beleive we now have signgold in the uk. i havent tried it though.
i take it you printed the flowers with pc600?
the whole signs is really nice. how long would somthing like this take you?

thank you for taking the time to post.. 😉

I used Sign Gold on a Job last week.I was very impressed with it. It has a clear plastic backing, instead of a paper one, which takes a bit of getting used too.
Cherwell sell it for £53 a metre, but i got 7 metres for £48 per Metre.

[Robert Lambie]

how do you find it cuts, applies mate?

[Andrew Ward]

Cuts very well, i found 110g to be about the right force for cutting.Most of the text was Times Roman & had to watch the serifs, as on the smaller text it would sometimes pull.
Applies much like any good cast vinyl really.Very thin & the overall finish is outstanding, but then at 20 times the standard vinyl cost it should be 🙁 😮

Robert,

Yes on the PC600 and I probably got around 10 hours real time in construction.

Thanks for the comments too…..

Nice work Stikrz
Good to see the traditional style incorporated

Nice work too! Steve

That nearly a metre of gold on the bonnet

Did you utilise the large areas of gold in the middle of the logo?

Don’t tell me you weeded and binned 😆 😆

Yes thats one bit of Vinyl approx 800 x 400mm…total Job was £800, 7 metres of sign Gold & £48per M = £336. Profit = £464, not bad for an Afternoons work 😎

I could have made at least 2 Gold rings and maybe a chain with what was binned!! 😮 Mu ha ha
