If it's a one off sign, then $35.00 for aluminum is damn good, but if your doing 20 of the same then you may have issues of digital versus screenprinting. Screen printed signs will last in some cases more than 10 years depending on the ink used. I share your concerns with longevity of unlaminated prints. I will assume that red won't last 3 years in a southerly direction.
