The downside to the vinyl was that it was and still is very expensive compared to other options. The transition from hand-painting to cut vinyl made the process easier, and translucent vinyl worked well for both day and night settings. In the beginning of sign making, backlit signs were hand painted with translucent paint that looked great when lit from the front by the sun as well as at night when lit from behind. That’s because full color outdoor backlit signs present a special challenge: constantly changing ambient light. Driving around Spokane, you may not see a whole lot of full color backlit signs.
