Our team had another request for a black acrylic with brushed metal lobby sign in Orange County, CA. Have you ever wondered about the difference between black acrylic and translucent acrylic painted black? We have answers!

GM Parking Advertises With an Acrylic Lobby Logo Sign

GM Parking Lot Restorations specializes in rejuvenating commercial parking lots with seal coatings, crack fillings, bollard installation, and more. Our graphic artist designed a product using black, opaque acrylic. It features the GM logo with a brushed metal face. Besides parts of the logo and lettering, the black acrylic remains exposed for a great look.

What is the Difference Between Black Acrylic and Clear Acrylic That Our Technicians Paint Black?

The significant difference between these two products is material manufacture. Black acrylic is made with black pigments added to the material. Clear acrylic is devoid of any color inclusions. Our clients like black acrylic because it makes the color scratch-resistant. Most importantly, manufactured black acrylic displays in a uniform black color, including the edges. But before you consider black acrylic superior to its clear counterparts, consider the advantages of using this material. For example, when we paint the acrylic black on the back side, we can add a layer of depth to the sign. This is particularly true when incorporating three-dimensional style elements.

Examples of Black Acrylic Signage Solutions

Just recently, we worked with Co Created Media on a 3D lobby sign. For this project, we used half-inch-thick black acrylic that we treated with digital prints. It makes the company’s intricate logo display come to life. For other projects, our team used black acrylic overlays that we combined with brushed aluminum for a chic look. That said, you will be hard-pressed to determine with one look which material is black through-and-through and which is painted. Cases in point are the large lobby signs we did for AOCUSA/Amalie.
