Business Branding & Signage Cape Town
Your shopfront, your exterior wall, your reception area — these are the first things a potential customer sees. They form an instant impression of your business before anyone has spoken a word. We Do Graffiti creates bold, hand-crafted business signage and branded wall art that makes your business impossible to miss and easy to remember.
We work with independent retailers, restaurants, offices, studios, gyms, and service businesses across Cape Town — creating distinctive hand-painted signs and stencilled lettering that give you the look of a premium brand at a fraction of the cost of large-format print.

Why hand-crafted signage beats print
Printed vinyl and digitally-cut signs are clean and consistent — but they look like every other sign on the street. Hand-painted and stencilled signage carries character, texture, and warmth that printed alternatives can't replicate. It signals craft, authenticity, and attention to detail — qualities that transfer directly to how customers perceive your brand.
Hand-crafted signs also perform better on rough or uneven surfaces where vinyl won't adhere cleanly, and they don't peel, bubble, or fade the way printed films do over time.

FAQ — Business Signage
How much does hand-painted business signage cost?
Business signage starts from around R3,500 for a simple shopfront sign. More complex signs with multiple colours, logos, or large surface areas are quoted individually. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.
Can you replicate our existing logo exactly?
Yes. We work from your logo files and brand guidelines to paint an accurate reproduction of your branding. For complex logos, we use stencils to ensure precision and consistency.
How long will a painted sign last?
A well-painted sign on a properly prepared surface typically lasts 5–10 years. We use exterior-grade paints suited to Cape Town's weather conditions. Touch-ups are easy to arrange if needed.
Can you paint on glass, metal, and wood?
Yes — we've painted on brick, plaster, wood, metal shutters, glass, and more. Surface type affects the preparation and paint choice, which we'll advise on during quoting.
Do you also do vinyl lettering?
Yes — our sister company 89 Signs specialises in vinyl lettering and decals for businesses. Visit 89signs.co.za for more details.
