There’s something very interesting going on in Murrieta, CA. Art Sign Works has an ingenious way of saving time and money when working with Precision Board Plus.
They’re a very busy wholesale sign shop and though their company is small, it’s run like a well-oiled machine. Enrique, the Big Cheese, believes that to utilize his employees the best way possible, he lets the machinery do a lot of the work.

When they get a sandblasted job, such as the sign featuring the Aztec Calendar, they first CNC route PBLT-15 to the desired depth of the background, before sandblasting. This allows the sandblaster to be used for a shorter period of time, freeing up an employee to work on another paying sign. After routing, the sign will get a quick sandblast to get the required texture.
After priming and painting, Kevin the lead designer says they use 1-Shot lettering enamels “because of its vibrancy”. In the case of the Aztec Calendar, a vinyl appliqué was applied under a separate piece of PBLT-15, to not only save time on hand painting, but to create a 3-D effect as well. As with all their signs, it was then coated with 2 coats of clear coat to preserve the quality and luster of the paint.
