WIPO Patent Application WO2005102734
Kind Code:

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a sign (10) comprises the steps of providing depressions and/or projections defining a desired indicia (12) on the surface of a sign plate (11), then coating the sign plate (11) and formed indicia with a protective coating, for example, titanium nitride, and subsequently highlighting the indicia by applying a contrasting colouring to the or a least a part of the coated substrate. The protective coating is applied using a vapour deposition process, (eg PVD). The colouring is a cellulose enamel paint and is applied by hand or by spraying using a mask.
