RECENT WORK - CUSTOM INTERIOR PAINT GRAPHICS ON WOOD WALL
At Capistrano Valley Christian Schools (www,cvcs.org) in San Juan Capistrano, Orange County CA this week - I was asked to provide a part of the design for this presentation room on campus called The Nest.
The designer, Sandra Vila Design House (www.sandravila.com) requested these graphics be done in transparent stain on repurposed gym floor wood installed in a herringbone pattern on the walls. Here are some details about the project…
It starts with a plan… this one was very well detailed…
From client-supplied vector files, I cut specialized paint mask material in strips and mounted them onto the wood background. The image area was lightly scuffed with 3M pads to help paint adhesion…
Then the paint was applied. This was a mix of a matte finish oil-based clear and 1-Shot paint colors to provide a transparent stain look… you can still see the wood slats through the artwork.
Over on the other side of the room, the school's Academic logo was to be done in the same manner.
First, the computer cut masking material…
…is applied to the wood background…
…a few details had to be addressed before applying paint - where the planks were uneven the mask needed to be pushed into contact with the surface or bleeds would occur…
…then paint applied, mask removed. Easy peazy!!
The final product photos below - transparent stain paint accent graphics as part of a larger project is complete, with another happy client!
You might be thinking about getting this kind of project done, Do you know where to start? I can tell you - contact me, Paul Borne (president of Big City Signs) to find out more.
