16 Inch Playbill Font Metal Letters and Numbers in Natural Steel

16" Playbill Font Metal Letters & Numbers – Natural Steel Add a clean, industrial character to your next project with substantial 18-gauge CRS (cold-rolled steel) letters and numbers in their natural, untreated finish. These individual metal characters are ideal for address signs, DIY projects, stencils, art projects, signage, and other creative applications. Built from 18-Gauge Steel Each letter and number is cut from rigid 18-gauge CRS steel, giving it a substantial feel while remaining practical to work with and install. Each character is sold individually, so you can create the exact combination your project requires. Natural, Untreated Steel This is new, untreated steel in its natural finish. It arrives clean and ready for your next step — whether that's painting, finishing, or allowing the steel to develop its own natural character. Because the steel is untreated, it will begin to rust over time when exposed to moisture and the elements. The rate and appearance of rust will vary depending on the environment. If you want to maintain the natural steel appearance while limiting corrosion, apply an appropriate clear protective coating. For a painted finish, the surface is ready to be prepared and painted. Choose Your Letter or Number Select the character you need from the options above. This listing is for the 16-inch size in Natural Steel. Looking for a different size? Other sizes are available, including: 2", 3", 4", 5", 6", 8", 10", 12", 16", 18", 24", and 36". Custom sizes and custom orders are also available upon request. Mounting Options Choose the mounting option that works best for your project: No Holes – Character comes without mounting holes or fasteners. Mounting Holes – Character is pre-drilled with mounting holes; fasteners are not included. Available Mounting Fasteners – Self-drilling hex-head fasteners. The pre-drilled option is a convenient choice when you want the mounting holes prepared before your piece arrives. A Note About Natural Steel Natural steel is intentionally supplied untreated. It is not a pre-rusted or sealed finish. If left unfinished and exposed to moisture, the steel will naturally develop surface rust over time. This can be part of the appeal of natural steel, particularly for industrial or evolving finishes. If rust is not desired, the steel should be properly prepared and protected with an appropriate coating. Need a specific size, quantity, or configuration?
