Insignia proudly offers a wide variety of finishes to complete your project. Below is a sampling of those finishes, however if you need something you do not see please call to discuss how we can create a one-of-a-kind finish for you.

Custom and Specialty Techniques

Faux Finishes: We can customize a faux finish to any texture or patina. We can make signs look like granite, stone, rock, marble, sand, metal, wood, stucco and much more. We can finish HDU "foam" to look like any of a variety of wood species (such as mahogany or walnut) and to emulate marble, granite and cast metals. We are very skilled at making Medex look like a cast aluminum or bronze sign. Just imagine the possibilities with our faux finishing techniques.

Cedar and Redwood Stains

Insignia has left its mark as an expert in sandblasting wood signs. As an expert we have developed a pallette of standard "Redwood" stains and clear coats that are the best choice for your Cedar and Redwood Signs. These 3 stains and clear coats (shown below on cedar) are our most requested stains. Please keep in mind that "Natural Clear Coat" will look different from sign to sign and within a sign depending on the color of wood used. Wood is a natural living organism, created by God, not signmakers and must be viewed as such. We can tint, stain, dye and change the wood color, but we can not guarantee its final color. We highly recommend choosing from our three redwood choices for your sandblasted wood sign. Please also indicate whether you want light wood, dark wood or a combination of both.

Western Red Cedar and Redwood Stains

Minwax LogoWhile our experience proves that the above stains and clear coats are the best choice for your sandblasted wood sign, Insignia can stain your wood signs using an array of other stains and clear coats. As we stated, wood is a natural living organism and must be viewed as such. While we can tint, stain, dye and change the wood color, we can not guarantee its final color. We find that these stains remain most true to color when used on woods other than Cedar and Redwood or with signs that are not sandblasted such as dimensional letters or backer board. The following chart is a sampling of the Minwax stains we use. If there is a color you would like, but do not see, please do not hestitate to ask your customer service representative about our full line of stains.

Clear Coats and Anti-Graffiti Coats: We can put a UV coat, Anti-graffiti coat or seal coat on all signs to help protect against fading, protect color coated signage & vinyl graphics and highlight metal surfaces. We also have anti-graffiti coats that allow graffiti to be wiped right off.

Note: Due to differences in monitor resolutions and color depth, it is impossible to view a perfect color match. These color examples are provided for reference only. The Pantone Color Guide was developed for the printing industry for use to color match printing inks. If you have a specific Pantone color in mind, we can match it, but can not guarantee 100% accuracy.
