Project brief

Graphic Signs was appointed to refurbish and rebrand three large fuel tanks measuring 6.5 metres in height and width. The tanks required full surface preparation, including stripping, sanding, priming, and repainting before new graphics could be installed.

Due to weather constraints, the project was rescheduled from winter to spring to ensure optimal conditions for both painting and installation. The full timeline spanned approximately three months, beginning with a comprehensive site survey and concluding with final graphic installation in early September.
