A few months ago I had to take the sign down where you turn in to service at work. The dealership began as a GM dealer in the early '80's so it was a double sided sign that would light up and over the years the other 2 dealerships just put a vinyl wrap over the Gm sign. They decided to get new panels and so I decided to try to remove the vinyl from them the other day since I just couldn't seem to throw them away like they said for me to and after a few hours one of the panels looked good. My boss asked if he could have one since they cleaned up so well and I figured since they were his to begin with I let him have one side. Yesterday my dad and I decided to incase the sign in a wood frame and put a light in it, guess when my boss sees it we will have to do his for him...Undecided on the frame not sure if I am gonna stain it or paint it either red, white or blue. Here is a picture of it, cant wait to hang it on front of the garage!
I'd go a dark stain and then a bees wax finish rubbed in to a low-lustre sheen. Would look like a custom piece of cabinet making, too. Looks wonderful! Of course, looking that good you may want in IN the garage, not outside!
I like that. Nothin like suckin up to the boss!:2_thumbs_up_-_anima Put it on the OUTSIDE of the garage where people can see it. Especially lost station wagon members wandering thru your neighborhood!
Have a feeling when my boss see's how it came out I will be doing his next weekend...get a couple more points!
I found out you can't get too many points. If you're like me, you'll need them for all the others you loose later. Did they find the criminal among you guys?
I was told one "Oh s@#t!" cost 20 'atta boys. So I am not sure if I am good yet! They haven't said anymore about the theft...sometimes I wonder if they really want to know, sad but since I have been working at a dealership I have learned to keep one eye on most people and one hand on my wallet!
Thanks tedy, was getting worried when I realized it was over laid twice with vinyl. :banghead3: but it worked out.
