Just completed this hand painted environmental graphics / super graphics / mural project out in the LA Arts District in the downtown Los Angeles area.

You can see some of the progress photos below.

Starting at the beginning of my involvement in the project, here is how everything looked in January 2021…

Next, here is the architect’s design…

At the site, after thorough cleaning we applied the paper pattern with pounce powder, then traced the outlines and color separation lines so we would be able to see them after applying primer.

The galvanized metal surface needed to be primed in only the areas each letter would be, leaving the metal showing through.

Each of the 24 colors had a paint reference name/number we worked with the client to develop.

I’ve posted some progress photos below:

The video below shows the progress of the project. At the end of every day we took a photo from the same corner, showing progress from start to finish.

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.
