This is not the Barnum you're looking for.... :Big Laugh but it is fuzzy...

Seen it before, but can't place it. Created by Pierce trucks and they ain't saying, claiming it's "proprietary".... Thanks in advance! R

My fab guys here in SEPA can do just about anything. PM me for their info if you're interested.

No, all ideas are good ideas! I appreciate the input. The easel backs I used were "double" so wider and heavier than normal. I think what they were experiencing was the sign actually tumbling forward away from the stand. Fortunately, this particular tournament is one of my better clients...

Hmm.. might work. Find some square washers to make up the space and add yet a little more weight... Looking at a quick search for spider feet retailers, one has a steel M shaped base that is adjustable. That might be the ticket!

Been searching the net for items like this. My situation is an annual golf tournament that has many sponsors. Each sponsor gets a tabletop sign, either 16" square or 28" x 24". In the past I've simply applied an easel back - large - and hoped for the best. Of course, the tables are located out...

^ this. I just replaced the head on mine after 18 years. Very simple job to do in under a half hour! Well worth the cost of the head to have a basically brand new machine one again..

Buy your regular sail flags (Creative Banner has nice ones), drill and put a bolt through the mounting base. No more spin.

I think it looks great - and exactly the way I would have made up the missing letters. Great job!

Did quite a few of those in the early 90's for realtors, using Rustoleum. As long as you don't mind a few bumps and roller marks, you'll be fine. Put it on, smooth it as best you can and add some heat if necessary.

Tangential all the way here. I use the drag option for everyday stuff, but the small letters get the T-knife. You can't go wrong for the price... it's the best of both worlds.

Which begs the question, why do you want to laminate a banner? They are meant to be temporary...

Tammie - looks like you've stumbled on the supplier of the previous installer. See how the ink is blotchy on the Vian police car? It's exactly that way on the ones I have to match. Though I don't see how they make the topcoat, screen printed can't be ruled out.. but the topcoat finish isn't as...

I'm surprised when someone says this. I've never seen that to be the case. Years ago I did an unscientific photo test of Reflexite, 3M DG3 and FDC's engineer grade. Photo flash from across the room, nothing else: I've never found Reflexite to be that particularly bright, even compared to...

Sellers may have nailed it for consistency reasons alone. Some preliminary testing printing on black (with a white point, like 3M) shows promising results. Much better than what the current cars are running. So kudos for thinking in a lateral fashion!

You better check to see what their specs are. Some departments are required to have the 3M DG3 on the back, some support vehicles can get away with regular engineer grade. Chevrons are inverted V at 45°. I've never used the pre-made panels before, but they won't work if you have to cover the...

Gino, yeah, I'll have to do that. I think I have at least 6 of the manufacturer color charts here.. I'll have to get the pages and put a light on them to check. Sellers... ooh... never thought about that. I'll have to do some test runs.... See? Thinking outside the box! Thanks, guys!

Exactly. On their non-stealth cars, they're using a standard (what appears to be) 3M 071 yellow, with a faded gold to white name for the department. The gold in the name matches 064 gold. Images below.. pulled from their website. I've seen the cars on the road, but haven't actually had the...

Yeah, used to do that too. Still do to an extent, but this is going to involve a lot of vehicles, so trying to get a consistent look across many 100's of feet of vinyl might be a challenge. Makes me wonder if whomever is doing the fleet currently isn't spraying - the pattern on the vinyl is very...

Not translucent, but transparent black. I have the opportunity to bid on a local law enforcement unit that uses quite a few ghosted vehicles. What they have looks every bit like a standard gold reflective (they have to have it reflect gold) that has been overprinted in black (vehicles are...
