Plastic Letters and Logos
If any letters break or fade, Gemini will replace the defective letters for free.

letter finish. Therefore, some regular cleaning may be required. A good
dish soap and water will help return the letters to their original luster.

Letters and Plaques )
Should any metal letter finish fade or corrode, Gemini will refinish at no

original luster. Painted, satin and polished letters are clear coated with a
hardened polyurethane, similar to your car finish. This can be cleaned with
a good dish soap and water. If the face gets scratched, a good car polish will
also help bring back the original luster. Painted metal letters are double
coated with a hardened acrylic polyurethane, and then oven baked. This
paint should retain its original luster and not crack for at least 10-15 years.
