My side project
 

I am fascinated by old hand painted signs on old buildings. Recently I began making one on the side of my garage, all hand painted with brushes the way they did it back then. I have been causing some slow traffic on my street since I completed it. Hope it brings back some memories!

wow nice job! wish i had those painting tallents...

altho i wouldn't go advertising it everywhere as coke may not like you replicating their slogans and signs without their permission in our current sue happy country...

I fabricated a Coke cooler trailer with stools and umbrella and when I took it to the first car show, a Self professed Coke rep asked to see my permission letter to use Coca Cola colors. Wayne

Wow, that is as good as any professional sign painter could do. Great job.

Re: My side project
 

Local laws may not permit signs. But it is hell of a sigh very professional.

He may live in one of those towns where its not allowed but nothin will be done unless someone complains, AKA the city has power to make you remove a sign if its tacky or gaudy - in this case its very far from either and i dont know anyone who would be objected by it.

can you pose a pic of it with your car? that would be really cool

Re: My side project
 

Yes I was planning on doing that. My 1939 tolkheim gas pump is next to it but not in the pic.

Re: My side project

Re: My side project
 

Wow! Anyways, would Coca Cola really mind free advertising?

If you did that in our FINE CITY, the Anti-Graffiti Patrol would come by & PFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST----------GONE.
If you want to tell me I'm HORRIBLE, just come join the line outside, FREE DOUGHNUTS & CCOFFEE:D
In my small hometown, MOST signs were on the ALLEY side of the old brick buildings, as most stores had parking lots, Behind the stores. Last trip there, MOST of them were almost FADED away,(SAD!)

Re: My side project
 

All the time I was growing up, I could look out the kitchen window, and see a Mail Pouch sign on a barn down the road- long gone now. I admire your talent! If I could do that, I might pick some more obscure brand like Nehi or Nesbitts, or maybe Squirt.
