West View Drive In dubbo - signage Restoration

If your local, I’m sure you have heard and been by now.
If not look into it www.westviewdrivein.com.au


I’ve been lending some time out at the drive-in to help with the restoration of the signage elements. Notable and recently took some time to do a restoration of the bulkhead in the cafeteria. The old Styrofoam lettering was incomplete and worn. I track down some foam to match and cut them by hand on a old hot-wire machine. Ridgy Didge mate!

While applying the varnish to the bulkhead magazine area, I spotted some cool images some may never see or miss while visiting.
This Covid restrictions seems to linger and the Cafeteria temporarily closed sooo, see below some images of the work.

Handpainted Signs - we still got it!

Along with all the "New School" Sign things we do, we are also trained and still work the "Old School" brush styles. We consider ourselves as a rarity in the modern Sign game as we have retained the old hand-painted Sign skills while still killing the new print/wrap era.
