WHY CHOOSE TO SHOP WITH US?
Each piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans, not mass-produced overseas. Quality like this doesn’t come off an assembly line.
You won’t find acrylic, stickers, or fake glow here. This is real neon—heavy, durable, and made to last a lifetime.
These neon cans aren’t for lighting up a dorm room—they’re made for guys who know the difference between real and replica.
Try it out. If it’s not what you expected, send it back. We cover return shipping—no questions asked.
Most “custom neon” signs today aren’t neon at all. They’re plastic LED tubes made to imitate the look—but they don’t have the depth, warmth, or weight of a real neon sign, and they don’t belong in a garage built around authenticity.
At Porcelain Advertising, we build custom garage neon signs the way they were made during the golden age of American advertising—using real hand-blown glass neon, kiln-fired porcelain enamel, and heavy steel construction. No shortcuts. No LED. No plastic.
Whether you’re finishing a dream garage, recreating a vintage service station look, or commissioning a one-of-a-kind statement piece, your sign is built from scratch using the same materials found on original mid-century neon signs.
Please allow up to 8-16 weeks for production.
1. Submit Your Design or Idea
Upload your logo, sketch, vintage sign reference, or describe what you want.

Every sign is tested before crating and shipment.
If it would have looked right hanging in a garage in the 1940s–1960s, we can build it.

Custom Vintage Style Metal Signs Built the Way the Originals Were Made
Most “custom metal signs” today are printed aluminum, vinyl overlays, or thin stamped tin.
That is not what we produce.
At Porcelain Advertising, we manufacture true kiln-fired porcelain enamel signage on heavy-gauge steel — layered, fired, and built for decades of durability.
If you need custom signage that carries weight, depth, and permanence, this is the program.
Porcelain enamel is not paint.
It is powdered glass fused to steel at high temperature in a kiln. Each color is applied in layers and fired separately, creating a hard, glass-like surface that:
This is the same method used on early gas station, automotive, and industrial advertising signs — because it works.
All custom porcelain signs are produced using:
We do not use stickers, digital wraps, or thin novelty metal.
To maintain quality and production efficiency, we currently offer custom production in standard formats:
Custom shapes may be considered for commercial runs with minimum quantities.
To protect production integrity and ensure proper enamel layering, we operate under the following structure:

If your space demands substance — not novelty — porcelain delivers.
In a commercial environment, materials matter.
Customers recognize weight. They recognize gloss depth. They recognize authenticity — even if they cannot articulate it.
Real porcelain signage:
It is not disposable décor. It becomes part of the space.
