Custom Real Neon Porcelain Signs for Garage

Built with Hand-Blown Glass, Porcelain Enamel & Old-School Craftsmanship

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.
