  1. PRIMER AND PAINTS New member Question

    I meant Ronan lettering enamel rather than 1S. I tend to use Alumalite as a background more and more these days, though. It comes in some nice colors, less prep, lasts longer, and is easier for me to lift.
  2. PRIMER AND PAINTS New member Question

    Sure! I've done it for years. But I use Ronan now. Love....Jill
  3. Sign I did today

    I did have it in Futura but I spelled Verde wrong so threw in the Motel Kings. I think no matter the locale, legibility is vital.
  4. Thoughts on these layouts

    I agree that the solid looking mailbox pic (and only use 1 pic) is a good idea. I have had to replace my own mailbox at least 5 times due to the snowplows.
  5. Sign I did today

    Here's a quick suggestion that is by no means a masterpiece. But next time, when asking us technical stuff like can I reuse an old sign face, please ask us layout stuff too.
  6. Sign I did today

    Not to be a turd in the punch bowl...but it's very difficult to read. The lettering is way too large/close to the edges, and in my opinion would have looked better in white with a punchy black outline. Love....Jill
  7. Thoughts on these layouts

    For the love of God make the LLC much smaller. and I'd use a script on the name and make LANDSCAPES stand out more. Love....Jill
  8. Logo Critique please.

    The drop shadow almost looks like it has a different light source than the red shadow. I do prefer that version. Try bullet points between the top & bottom services rather than the ampersands, as Marlene suggests. And I've always thought you were uber-cute. :) Love....jill
  9. Attaching HDU to Dibond

    If you're using GG make sure to do so sparingly as it can grow and make a huge mess that's a pain to clean up. I'd spend the extra $$ for the better glue, so you don't have to re-glue anything. Love....Jill
  10. The Dezynery?

    I wouldn't use them based on their really stupid-looking name! Love....Jill
  11. How to back-spray large translucent face?

    If it's yellow, I think the only color you could get away with using on the face would be black. You also have to shine a light from behind to see if you've missed any spots in the background. ...the first time I ever did this I hand-painted from the inside out then we sprayed the backs...and my...
  12. How to back-spray large translucent face?

    When I did these (only ever did 2 because they were such a PITA) we used 12 mist coats of Grip Flex, and their corresponding thinner. It's a sticky, stinky paint. AkzoNobel Grip-Flex Paint....most sign supply places carry it. Then I'd apply translucent vynull to the front of the thing. Love....Jill
  13. Bleed thru

    I've noticed this with yellow as well. I can't remember where I saw this/read it but I believe there is a cast vynull with a white background. I bought a PMS red color brand once (probably Arlon) and it had a white backside. I wounder if you could print yellow onto white, but then there's always...
  14. Shop Truck Wrap

    I think making the name in two different colors on the same vehicle is a mistake.
  15. Specialty Vinyl

    Chalkboard paint is almost flat but not quite, and it kind of has a texture. I'd hand-letter it, it takes Ronan lettering enamels beautifully. Love....jill
  16. dealing with customers....

    I'm proud of my last name, I come from a big family with a good reputation and my surname has opened many doors for me. I've never had a client ask me for it, but it's on all my bizcards. Love....Jill
  17. Shop Truck Wrap

    The wallpaper doesn't bug me, it reminds me of the "lace" effect used a lot (with paint) in Kustom Kulture. I still reallllllly dislike the "hand done" lettering in the logo, it's got so many issues, which someone who really does hand letter would not do. Secondary copy would go up in the bare...
  18. Vehicle Wrap design critique...

    #2 but they putting the signs graphics wraps part in white in a black panel. Love....Jill
  19. Old School Country Music Fans - Do you remember this?

    I like way old school music (Loathe this modern crap) I love this song particularly the crazy lyrics, presumably altered from the original because back then sometimes the words got garbled in passing. Love....Jill
  20. Graphtec CE5000-60

    The one on your machine that says "next". I believe that is the one which pages thru the three different settings. Just push it until Roll 1 is displayed.
