Frequently Asked Questions - Rusty Rooster Metal

Product & Customization

Q: What color is the D13 trout sign?

A: Great question! The D13 trout sign features our signature heat treatment finish. Each piece is unique—the color varies from deep rust to bronze tones due to the natural heat treatment process. This gives every sign character and authenticity. If you'd like a specific color (black, rust patina, or custom), we can customize it for you.

Q: Can I personalize my sign with a name or custom text?

A: Absolutely! All our signs can be personalized. Most orders with just a name added ship within 24 hours. For custom designs drawn from scratch (like logos or unique artwork), we create an art proof for your approval before we fabricate. Standard personalization is quick and easy!

Q: What sizes do you offer?

A: We offer multiple size tiers for most designs. Check the product listing for available sizes and pricing. Need a custom size? Reach out—we can often accommodate special requests!

Q: Do you offer custom designs?

A: Yes! We specialize in custom metal art. Share your idea, and we'll create a design proof for your approval. Custom designs drawn from scratch typically take about three days to draw. Once approved, we fabricate and ship. It's always a good sign with Rusty Rooster Metal.

Materials & Durability

Q: What material do you use?

A: All our signs are handcrafted from 16-gauge American steel—heavier and more durable than standard alternatives. We precision plasma-cut each design for accuracy and detail.

Q: Are your signs weather-resistant?

A: Yes! Every sign is powder coated for durability and weather resistance. They're built to withstand rain, snow, and sun—perfect for indoor and outdoor spaces. The powder coating protects the steel and keeps your sign looking great for years.

Q: How long will my sign last?

A: Our signs are built to last. With powder coating protection, they'll maintain their beauty for many years, both indoors and outdoors. We stand behind the quality of our craftsmanship.

Shipping & Ordering
