Ok,so as you can see, this sign has been around the block a time or two, but I was looking for "JUMBO" signage to fill some big spaces in my garage, and this fit the bill perfect. The price was right, the color and subject matter was a perfect fit, and I also love these large, hand done monsters!!. I tried to remove some of the over-paint with some paint stripper on the top & bottom, but it was making matters worse, so I cleaned (lightly) ,sprayed with a clear gloss to bring back the shine, built a new frame , and here she be!!
Now a few more of these and I'll have my garage walls filled quick!!
Cheers!!
Coca Cola SignsFew brands have been as effectively and aggressively marketed as Coca-Cola,…
Tin SignsWhen tin advertising signs first appeared in the U.S. around the beginning …
It actually looks like a modern art painting now. And what are you needing a such a high-ceiling garage for? (Your motor home?)
Like Ray said, looks like modern art now. Well done Bernie!
Thank-you very much for the nice comments Ray & Perry! The garage height is 12' for when the next owner is ready to put the lifts in to double the capacity ! Or like we used to say on the farm, big enough to swing a cat in!!Garages can never be "TOO"big!
Thank-you Coke4life, bratjdd,& packrat-place!!
Yeah, that sign doesn't look so big hanging up in your Garage Mahal! And I had the same thought when I first saw your post: That looks like a work of art. Unique piece, well displayed, Sir.
Beauty job on putting some life back into it Bernie. However, I must say, it looks dreadful up there!!!! Send it to me immediately and I will display properly...... LOL LOOKS GREAT!!!!
Thank-you very much Dave & Tommy for the nice comments. These whopper's are'nt the most valuable of signs, but they certainly make a "statement" !! According to my kids, it's saying"I have a COKE Problem, and want everyone to know it"!!! They just are not feeling it yet!
Hope you all have a great weekend!!
Very nice Bernie looks great framed in your garage, your right garages can never be too big, my garage is an old two story cattle barn lol.
My garage is almost as big as my house 2,500 sq ft you are right never to big, great job on sign.
Thanks for the nice comments Trey,Trevor & Amy, and for stoppin by packrat-place!
Thank-you all for the "Loves"!!
