Vintage Gas Station Porcelain Exterior
 

I'm in the process of building a shop wall area to represent an old Sunoco gas station exterior. Any ideas for material to represent the large porcelain panels on the exterior of these old service stations. Thanks for your input.

I would start with a Sunoco 260 pump and or wheel balancer

Could fab some pans out of sheet metal and have them all bolt together. Powder coat and hang it up. Scale it down and use 16x16 ceramic tile...

I'm sticking with the brick wall look ....simple and easy!

... You may want to look into using &quot;Sintra&quot; ..... that is what a lot of sign shops use
and it comes in different thicknesses and you could possibly get a local sign company
to order it for you.
... It can also be painted.

What is &quot;Sintra&quot; ....

Good luck [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I saw a lot of those this past weekend, lots of arrows too. I was tempted....Good stuff for a Sunoco display.

John, Thanks for the SINTRA idea. They have a blue that is almost perfect, and I can get it in 4 x 8 sheets. I have a sample that I'm going to spray with automotive clear to get a little more gloss (about 70%) and see how that looks.
Thanks again,
Jer
