🔔 SHOP POLICIES, IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES & INFORMATION:

Please take a moment to review the detailed information about our finishes, shop policies and mounting ideas.

◻️RAW METAL◻️

• Raw metal is bare uncoated steel and when exposed to moisture or humidity will rust without a clear coat, even indoors. Raw metal also varies in color from light silver to gray depending on the mill lot.

• Raw metal may show flaws and imperfections that naturally exist in the metal. This may include; scratches, gouges, burns, light spots, etc. This gives each metal piece a unique rustic or industrial look.

• Want to remove some or all unwanted rust on raw metal? Rub your metal piece with a grade 3 steel wool pad.

• Prep for paint or remove fingerprints: Simply clean your metal piece with acetone and a microfiber cloth.

🏠 PAINTED SIGNS:

• Your metal art is painted on the front and cleared on the back making your item safe to display indoors or outdoors. To ensure your item stays in the best condition please handle with care.

• Our painted signs provide a high-quality long-lasting finish that will last for years. To extend the life of your piece it is highly suggested to handle with care and provide periodic maintenance. It is recommended to reapply your finish every three to five years under normal conditions. However, harsh environments such as near bodies of water or in places with extreme heat and humidity may require more frequent upkeep. We suggest using Rust-Oleum Crystal clear gloss. It’s easy to use in the comfort of your home.

• If your paint chips be sure to immediately touch up the spot with a clear coat sealant to reseal the raw metal underneath to prevent rusting.
