  1. Dent repair?

    If we go the Bondo route, it would be done by a body shop. But I don't think we'd have to repaint it brown. The dent is all behind the wrap. I'm going to try paintless dent repair. Unfortunately we may not have mobile services for that in our town. All the places that say they do it are...
  2. Dent repair?

    I'm pretty sure if we Bondoed it we'd have to sand it off, fill, sand, prime, repaint before we put the vinyl wrap over it. I know enough about auto body work to know that, but I've never done it.
  3. Dent repair?

    Incomprehensively late is right. I was first contacted about this sign the first week of February, agreed to the price for installation based on only an elevation drawing. Did the site survey in March. Then they were leaning on me for a copy of the sign permit (which for this kind of sign takes...
  4. Dent repair?

    I am pretty sure that the dent was made with the end of a 2x4. That's the size and shape of the dent. It arrived bolted to an angle iron steel frame by the hangers that hold it to the sign posts, with a secondary 2x4 frame built around it bolted to the hangers on the top of the sign (they though...
  5. Dent repair?

    I could make a new face and have them send me the vinyl already printed so it all matches. Except that the face is painted brown to match the frame, and we don't have the ability to mix paint and spray it. And I can't see how they attached the face to the frame. There are no visible fasteners...
  6. Dent repair?

    We did a local sign installation of a sign that was shipped ready to install from a big sign company in Alabama yesterday. It came in a large, heavy crate, bolted to a steel frame inside the crate. When we unpacked it, there was a dent in one of the faces of the sign (it's .063 aluminum on a...
  7. Suggestions Side by Sides, ATV, Motorcycle "wraps" Material combos?

    That would yield a normal offroad vehicle graphic, which has to be made in pieces cut from a template to fit together. Not a wrap, as you would do on a car.
  8. Suggestions Side by Sides, ATV, Motorcycle "wraps" Material combos?

    Anything that you can actually wrap with is not durable to survive normal use of the offroad vehicle. Anything durable enough to survive use cannot be wrapped because it's not flexible enough. And the laminates used on the graphics are not PPF but specialty overlaminates. Avery and Oracal both...

    Gill Sans Light
  10. Lettering on top of trailer

    Here's an example of two different ways to do this on a typical 6x12 trailer roof. The one with "TROOP 27" has 19" letters. That gives a 190' easy readability and 400' readable. The one with just "27" has 37" letters, yielding a 379' easy readability and almost 800' readable distance. The...
  11. Caddy van template

    If you really are incapable of making your own template, the vendor I use for templates has that model vehicle. https://vehicle-templates-unleashed.com/download-vehicle-templates/
  12. Overlaminate attracting dirt and grime

    Gloss. The matte surface gives a foothold.
  13. Looking for supplier for .08 Aluminum Signs with simple perimeter contour cut (no inside cuts)

    I thought that signs365 charges $10 for next day shipping.
  14. Question Is this considered grainy?

    Yes
  15. Need Help Removing old dead vinyl

    You have to remove wraps within a time specified by the vinyl manufacturer (usually 1-2 years) to get them off without a huge amount of time and pain.
  16. Adding address numbers to an existing monument

    I like the Echo numbers
  17. Adding address numbers to an existing monument

    Gino, everything you said is valid. But the fact is stuff like this is done to meet local 911 addressing requirements. It has nothing to do with identifying or finding the various businesses. So just randomly putting numbers on the structure, as long as they meet the minimum size requirement...

  19. Looking for supplier for .08 Aluminum Signs with simple perimeter contour cut (no inside cuts)

    Our UPS cost for shipping a 1 lb package to somewhere nearby is $20-25 right now. It can actually be cheaper to ship farther away (out of state) to a metro center, by perhaps $5.
  20. Couple Font ID's Needed

    The upper one has the rounded ends of Calibri, but the 0s don't match.
