Our address plaque is engraved with the number and street name you provide in the personalization section at purchase time. The engraving is painted with 3 coats of exterior white paint that contrasts nicely with the jet black plaque. This sign is very classy and makes a great house warming gift. The numbers are 3.5 inches tall so they are very visible from a distance. The address plaque comes in two sizes 18 or 24 inches. The sign comes in the black and white shown in the listing. If you prefer other colors please refer to the color chart found in the photos and leave your selection in the personalization section. The back of the sign is painted black and comes with two attached saw tooth hangers. Product Description -Each sign is designed and created by Ivy and cut and engraved on a CNC router.
