                                                        Hauppauge Fire Dept SIGN

 

    The Hauppauge Fire Department made there own sign from half-inch plate steel  many years ago. It sure is heavy.  They had it painted with lettering enamel, sign paint.  It didn’t last!             

    Captain John Kogel and Dennis Cameron asked me to paint the sign using automotive paints.

    I had the sign sandblasted to remove the old paint and create a rougher surface for adhesion. Using an etching primer, which “bites” into steel, then a urethane primer with hardener on top to smooth out the surface, it’s also waterproof for protection. 

    I modernized the artwork and then using my airbrush techniques a realistic logo and 3-D lettering was created.  The complete sign was then clear coated using automotive urethane. 

Years later it still looks great!
