“Bring Retro Workshop Style to Your Wall”
Introduce bold vintage characters to your space with the Retro Paint Dept Custom Metal Shape 17″ × 18″. Hand-crafted in the USA from heavy-gauge American steel, this custom-shaped metal sign is designed with automotive workshop inspiration and delivers both form and function.

Customer Benefits
- Constructed from 24-gauge U.S. steel, offering real durability and a premium feel compared to thin aluminum or board signage.
- Size: 17″ wide × 18″ high—large enough to be a focal accent on a wall, but still manageable for indoor display.
- Made in the USA and built to order, so you’re receiving a handcrafted piece of décor rather than mass-produced filler.
- Bold “Paint Dept” workshop aesthetic — ideal for garages, tool rooms, man caves, DIY studios or automotive themed walls that benefit from design with attitude.

Why This Sign Wins Over Ordinary Wall Décor
Many décor signs are printed on thin boards, cheap metal or use basic graphics with minimal build. This sign stands apart because:
- Real heavy-gauge steel offers substantial feel and longevity, rather than looking lightweight or cheaply made.
- The graphic finish method (sublimation) means the visual remains sharp and vibrantly colored longer than simple screen prints.
- The workshop “Paint Dept” theme gives a strong identity and purposeful style — it adds character rather than just filling space.
- The size (17"x18") hits a sweet spot: noticeable without overwhelming the wall, making it versatile for various indoor settings.
Installation & Care Advice
- Use proper wall anchors or screws — steel has weight, and this sign is designed for secure mounting via its drilled holes.
- Hang indoors — avoid damp or outdoor exposure which could negatively impact the finish overtime.
- Clean gently with a soft microfiber cloth to remove dust; avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool which may scratch the powder-coated finish.
- Mount at or slightly above eye level for best visual impact; allow clear space around the sign so the graphic reads and resonates, rather than being lost in clutter.
Final Thought
If you're looking to decorate with authenticity, build quality and design intent, the Retro Paint Dept Custom Metal Shape 17″ × 18″ is a smart choice. It’s more than a sign — it’s a statement of style, craftsmanship and attitude.
Add it to your décor and let your space reflect vintage workshop heritage and real metal artistry.
