I picked up some signs at a flea market last month. Here's two and there's one more I'm working on cleaning up/straightening out.
This one wasn't exactly expensive, but not cheap. Too much for this cheapskate, but I got it anyway. It's what I assume to be the newer kind that's basically a reflective sticker over the metal.
This next one cost 25 bucks. When I got it, the dealer had two. The other one was like the crossbuck above...it seemed to be made with a reflective sticker instead of paint. I passed on it because it was in bad shape and I didn't see any way to repair it. This one was bent, shot up, and had a big smear where something had rubbed the black paint off down one side. I decided to gamble on it for the price. When I got home I carefully sanded the smeared black paint off, then masked/sprayed to patch up the black cross. I'm very happy with the results for the cost. Unfortunately the camera flash shows every blemish. All the yellow doesn't look like that in reality. In person it just looks pretty average. That chunk in the top left is another bullet hole that took all the paint. I could fix it up, but I think it adds character.

So, show us some photos.
