I’ve seen polystyrene letters outside, looked like they were painted, properly to seal them. But tbh the prices were quite high.

Have done similar Rob but not exactly what we need, after that built up metal letter look same colour face and return but without the massive cost

The Sign Group do a painted pvc letter that is quite good, these are 50mm thick which is 2 layers of 25mm PVC.

Not that I’ve heard, I’ve never had a problem with them, they not the cheapest but the quality and service has always been good.

We cnc cut 25mm signex (foamex), prime the edges with 3m primer, and wrap them. Works a treat.

I’ve used a company called Indasol for a material called sign blok, it was similar to a dense version of oasis that flower arrangers use. Comes in 50 & 75mm thicknesses
