be still steel script sign This beautiful metal sign is available in your choice of sizes and finishes. Standard size word is 8.25x19.5" in size. This word art is cut from steel about as thick as a nickel. The do-it-yourself raw steel sign is coated with an oily film to prevent rust during transit. While we use brand new steel and use rust preventative measures on the mild steel, your raw steel sign can develop slight surface rusting during shipment to your location. This is most likely during transits in high humidity and/or the package being delivered in the rain. With time outdoors, raw steel signs will begin to rust if not painted. Any light surface rust is easily removed by lightly sanding or scuffing with a green scrubbing pad before painting or display. We recommend lacquer based paint thinner, acetone, automotive brake cleaner or solvent based wax & grease remover to clean the oily film off of the sign before painting. Sanding with a 220 grit or finer sand paper or using a green scrubbing pad to scuff the surface of the metal will greatly enhance paint adhesion. Spray paint with primer is an easy coating for this type of sign. We do not recommend water-based paint on raw steel products as it can cause rust instead of preventing it. Always paint the back side first, so that the front will not be placed down after painting. Signs can be hung with commercial grade double-sided tape, removable adhesive strips, or you can use small finish nails through the openings in letters. We hope to provide you with a great starter piece for a fun project! All of our products are made in USA and made to last!
