  1. Which reflective vinyl should I use?

    Hi All, I'm going to be lettering a police car. I plan to letter the word POLICE with reflective vinyl. I don't use a lot of reflective so I am looking for advice on which to use. The word POLICE will be in yellow. Thanks in advance!

    That sounds more like snack-watching than binge-watching...LOL I do the same during the week though!
  3. Netflix

    There's a new zombie show coming out called Black Summer that is supposed to be better than The Walking Dead - if you're into that kinda thing, which I am lol. The Dirt was really good although I didn't care for the casting of Vince Neil. Also liked Highwaymen. On episode 4 of Hanna...it's...
  4. Rant Who robs a sign shop?

    The shop I bought was a gun shop prior to me owning it. There's cameras inside and out and he always had a loaded shotgun behind the counter. There's a house attached and when I went through it he had another loaded shot gun next to his security camera tv's and a pair of boots, one boot on each...
  5. First time translucent install...

    It went good, thanks all! Client's "logo" was basically just copy. I wet applied one side and squeeged the heck out of it but realized I really didn't need to wet apply so I dry applied the second side. Was in and out pretty quickly. I can see how the vinyl could tear pretty easily so I was very...

  8. First time translucent install...

    Hi All -- tomorrow I have my first install for translucent vinyl. It's a simple design with just black translucent vinyl size of 18" x 44". I'm expecting a temperature of 55 degrees...it states a minimum temp of 47 degrees. Is there anything I should be aware of or do differently than I would...
  9. Rant "Can you re-use my sign?"

    Monday giggles...found this on my door step this morning. The customer was in a couple weeks ago and said he would drop off his sign blank so I could letter the word "Pigeons" on the back of it.
  10. Suggestions Pricing advice please

    I totally agree that I would NOT be happy if someone brought a substrate to my shop that they got from another sign shop, ridiculous. He wants the edging so he can lay them on top of each other and they don't scratch...I've never heard such nonsense before. Everything I've done for him has been...
  11. Suggestions Pricing advice please

    Hi All - I have a customer who is leasing a race track. He wants to buy 2'x4' pieces of 6mil Alumalite and edging from me then give them to some of the sponsors to get lettered. He ordered 4 so far and could be 50 but he MIGHT have me make the signs...IDK, he doesn't know either. Makes no sense...
  12. Need help with Letters

    Yup! Take the circle off the bottom of the P and it should look good!
  13. Need help with Letters

    The last noodle on the N needs one of the circles removed on top or bottom. I like the texture, it looks very much like the real thing.
  14. Recognize this? Font ID please

    I used to have this font but I deleted it. Customer looking for the "6" for his race car. Googled it but not finding it...driving me insane right now. Thanks in advance!!
  15. Cheap Wall Vinyl

    I don't charge $1 a square foot LOL They get charged the same as they would for any other cash and carry vinyl lettering decal including set-up if it's more than a few minutes. Some people are OK with that, some people laugh at me.

  17. Hahaha I love these stories

    Looks like one of 10 million projects on Pinterest...I have 1-2 women come in every week asking for vinyl decals for their old windows, pails and mailboxes and quite a few ask for stencil mask for painting projects also. I use whatever vinyl I have laying around...no complaints yet! (not me in...

    Very nice! I had 2" of water in my garage last week and was chipping ice from my gutters. I'm more than ready for some warm weather and the sun!!!
  19. trailer rivet question

    I always wondered which way was the "right" way...I always remove them. Seems like personal preference from the responses.
  20. Wow, Check out this estimate

    I use the pricing guide for reference also. The lowest tier is for 1 color basic lettering. If they go right in between the Intermediate and Complex it comes out to $742 so for one panel they are just a little under that. They HAD to have made an error with the quantity column.
