  1. Backlit Cabinet Pricing Help Please

    I would recommend a pan face, less worrying about breaking when your moving it around your shop and it's much stronger after installation. Also don't forget crating and shipping which can add several hundreds of dollars to the cost. You forget about that and it will ruin your day when it's time...
  2. Oracal 651 on flat paint failing - ideas and tips for re-install

    One thing that hasn't specifically been pinpointed is if the paint used is latex or oil based. Being just "flat" doesn't have anything to do with it, even though flat oil paint is virtually unknown but I have seen it. In my 30 years at this when I would paint MDO boards, I could very easily get...
  3. custom imprint carpet mat

    Who is this dude? At this rate he's gonna catch up with Gino and his 25,000+ posts by the end of the weekend.
  4. Font ID please

    Outage is close (tt font) I used it last week. In your case you will have to tweak the "A" but other than that it's very close.
  5. Price check

    I hope you're kidding as far as kerning. At least I hope you attached the wrong sketch. If not you need to quit working seven days a week and do some serious design training. Kerning has nothing to do with things being equal. Just remember whenever you submit a logo or design on this site you...
  6. Price check

    Off topic but those two main lines hurt my eyes. Maybe try upper and lowercase, at least work on the kerning some. At least try all upper case but the first letters are a little taller than the rest of the line. The whole sign is in all caps which I try to avoid. I would tweak it but that's...
  7. 4'x8' Bebond sign price

    Oh, you're an hour away and your trailer has a flat tire so I'll have to come to you? No problem! Thanks for the business! Once I get my foot in the door with guys like you I'll have it made!!
  8. 4'x8' Bebond sign price

    I'll do it $50.00 cheaper. Let me put my name on the bottom right corner and I'll do it for free if you'll tell all your friends about me.
  9. How does this work?

    Check out bluelightning tv on youtube. I don't know how you would search for it but the guy "Marty" had something similar with a black and white photo of Marilyn Monroe superimposed with Albert Einstein. Somehow in photoshop he was able to make it to where you could see one or the other image...
  10. fabricate players roster boards?

    Got a call for two 4' wide x 10' tall signs for girls and boys basketball roster names. Customer doesn't really want standard plastic tracking but did show me a picture of a completed sign that says it uses the "Quick Strip" system for changing names. I couldn't get too much detail from the...
  11. Panface specs

    Sounds like you need a new guy pulling the tape measure. Or give him a spec sheet just like what you sent and have him measure exact open area, retainer, flange, etc. Even if you're ordering new faces I wouldn't do a thing as far as printing until the faces were in my shop. But that's just me.
  12. Panface specs

    Every pan face is different. Different size flanges, retainers, etc. Seems to me like your best bet would be to do a site survey and measure the existing space available and subtract a few inches for your optical empty space (margins) and design from that. Even if you had to do this with a...
  13. Wall graphics on Kilz....

    Old house painter's trick me and my Dad used to do. Wet the edge of a rag with water. Start rubbing. Any thing water based will start to dissolve, oil based there will be no difference. Maybe there are some old buckets laying around waiting to be taken to the dump? At least then you would...
  14. reflective yellow and red for fire dept. pickup

    I'm looking at my Oracal color charts and they have the V98 reflective, but they recommend Oratape ht55, mt95 and mt72. Never knew regular application tape wouldn't work. Is that the case? Any experience with this type of vinyl and taping ? I guess the striping could be applied without any...
