This is the natural finish of the metal once it leaves the smelting plant. Mill finish is NOT the satin Silver colour which most people assume it to be. Mill finish aluminium is a bright Silver colour and has not been protected in anyway. The satin Silver finish most people assume to be mill finish is in fact anodised aluminium. Anodising creates the satin Silver colour and is the most common finish known to the sign trade, most sign frames and dual cases are supplied in anodised finish.![aluminium_letters_with_pins_A](/sites/default/files/inline-images/aluminium_letters_with_pins_A.jpg) Aluminium is a non ferrous metal which means it won't rust. Apart from this raw aluminium should still be treated like steel- it needs a surface protection of some kind. Without protection mill finish surfaces oxidise from exposure to the air- this leaves a Back deposit on the metal. . If you want us to paint your letter shapes standard mill finish aluminium is more than suitable. If you want a Silver anodised finish we offer this as a standard sheet option. ![aluminium_letters_with_pins_A](/sites/default/files/inline-images/grey_shaded_line_image_6_26.jpg)
Other options for Silver metal lettering.As we have already seen mill finish aluminium lettering cannot be used without a surface treatment. Cutting from anodised aluminium sheet stock is an easy way to get the smooth Silver finish you are looking for. ![](/sites/default/files/inline-images/grey_painted_aluminium_letter_a.jpg)
