This PRINTED METAL sign is super distressed and rusty looking but its just part of the printed design. This is not 3D rust. Would make a great decoration for Valentines day or any time of year. Whats really great about our signs is that they are safe for indoor or outdoor so we try to offer unique designs that you can use anywhere in the house or even outside without worry. 9"x12" has 2 holes located on the sides. The larger sign is 12"x18" and has 4 corner holes. Both are printed on rust free aluminum which is safe for indoor or outdoor use. Any rust that you see in the image are just part of the printed design. There is no texture on the sign. It is very smooth and glossy.
