  2. Painting on different surfaces

    I have had good results with using Ronan on barnwood. The first coat sucks in the paint and kinda like makes a seal. Then you can add another coat for more color. I love the rustic way this looks. You could probably also do and entire first layer using 1Shot's tinting clear (if they still make...
  3. Lexan and Acrylic pricing

    I hate doing these. I hate cutting them. I hate when my supplier cuts them too. I don't stock the translucent vynull and I hate buying it in. I hate applying it. I hate designing a print for one and subbing it out. I hate how the prints never look as bright as the translucent. I hate how after...
  4. Another redesign

    I agree...which is which? Both have issues. A logo doesn't have to be so all-encompassing. Featuring everything they do makes it too cluttered on the first one, the name is lost. The scale of each thing should be correct. Boat looks more like a cruise ship. The banner clips the name in the...
  5. Fridge

    Now you need to do the dishwasher to match. (I like it better without the name) I'm a matchy-matchy kind of person all my appliances match except for my microwave, it's stainless, but it's not the same brand. It was a gift so I can't whine about it. I like the idea of wrapping the appliances...

  9. Paint cure time?

    ...paint can outgas and cause bubbs in your vynull. I have also had paint which came off on the app tape or masking tape. Yup, I live in Redneckville USA. And you're not far away.
  10. Paint cure time?

    No matter what anyone tells me I always always wait 4 weeks, if it is before then I would make the client sign a waiver saying that my company is not responsible for any paint damage that might be incurred upon application or removal of decals. Love....Jill
  11. sign shop from home

    I am home based for all of my 27 years in the trade. My house is on a 4 lane highway and my property is zoned commercial. I am an appointment-only shop for the past year...seems to eliminate the Peeing Calvin seekers. I do have an office/showroom and I do keep regular hours. Having a website has...
  12. Medical Supply Logo Help

    I'd definitely make Medical and supply the same color. Here's a quickie, with a half-assed heartbeat thingy.
  13. Medical Supply Logo Help

    Being a total woman here...now I think it looked better slanty. :)
  14. Medical Supply Logo Help

    Quit tinkering with the LE. You're gonna get hairy palms. It's better than the initial attempt but there's something slanty/off balance about it. Maybe losing the italics will help.
  15. Medical Supply Logo Help

    Good idea....bad fonts. edical needs to be the same color as the M. Don't tinker with the L E, makes it hard to decipher. Love....Jill
  16. Merry Christmas - That's a Wrap!

    I'll see your wrap and raise you a handpainted mural. Merry Christmas! Love....Jill
  17. CNC HDU Sign

    I would not use Sign Prime. I know someone who did and after their CNC routed HDU sign was installed the paint (latex) constantly bubbled. They had to replace a very expensive sign and eventually got rid of their router due to the PITA of it all. I'd do as Signmeup suggests, he has a lot of...
  18. organic? sign

    In all sincerity, seal the area of the barnwood where you will apply your print. It may take several coats of oil-based paint. Use a complimentary shade and make it about an inch bigger all around than your print. Then apply your print in the center, using heat to press it into the nooks and...
  19. organic? sign

    Here are some signs I've painted on real barnwood.
  20. organic? sign

    "organic" is a term used a lot to describe something kind of free flowing, natural, and earthy. Kinda like someone who doesn't trim their muff. sample organic logos Think yuppie/hippie. Love....Jill
