Casteller looks pretty close. Better late than never...lol

Actually, I'll need to replicate the design so it matches the other cars so they are perfectly OK with me ordering the printed vinyl.

Oh geez...that's some very good detective work! Definitely something to keep in mind...

Just to clarify...I didn't order, print or apply this, it's a new customer :) I can see if the department might still have the bid from the shop that did this. I'm confident in my print supplier and my application skills, but it's nice to provide a new customer with ideas of "what went wrong". I...

Hello! I have a police department in the area asking me to re-letter their cars. They had them lettered by a shop a few miles from me and after just a few weeks the ink was fading and the the vinyl is peeling...badly. The shop re-lettered them twice and both times, same results. I haven't done...

Hi Everyone, I have a customer with artwork that needs to go on a sign and I would like some advice on the best method. The artwork was provided by the customer via a business card which she created online but not sure where...the problem is it's an "eclipse" and it fades to black. The sign...

One reason there are so many pricing questions could be that there's so many different kinds of products we can offer. Before I opened my storefront, I did small signs and vehicles. I had gotten pretty good at pricing most of this. My "off the top of my head" numbers and actual calculations were...

Hello, I'm looking for some ideas for a post and panel type sign for a business that measures about 2' x 4'. This will be my first time installing this type of sign. They would also like a smaller hanging sign underneath that says "HIRING" that can go off/on. I don't want to say that money isn't...

Wave! It's web based, free and easier to use than Quickbooks (in my opinion). You can create the estimate then create an invoice from it. You can also have multiple businesses. I use it for my sign shop and I have my rental properties in it. You can easily change the accounts to your liking. You...

Update! I used carpet tape and this damn thing is STURDY as heck! I'm glad my original plan didn't work...it's heavier, sturdier and not even the Rock will get these panels apart! I finished the edges off and it looks great! 6mm coroplast with all three corners reinforced with 6" of coro on the...

Yes it does. I was expecting the 30" panel hinges to work but I'm concerned they won't hold well enough. I thought they would finish the edges nicer than banner tape. Obviously I was over thinking such an easy task.

I have an order expected this afternoon...if it's here soon, I will re-cut and reapply.

Thank you Gino! This is exactly what I am doing right now! Thank you for the help!

It is a last minute "rush" job and due today...I don't have another large piece of coroplast and there were some printed decals that I cannot replace today anymore. ugh...

I found out hinges are not the answer...your way seems best but now it's too late, I have them cut apart and not enough material to make new ones...

I have a 3 panel 6mm coroplast sign I'm putting together. Panels are 30" high x 24" wide. They will form a 3 sided sign so they need to be attached together on the 3 sides. So, I bought some plastic hinges, I have some that are 1" long and some that are 30" long. These things are a pain to get...

I use Wave...the accounting part is free and super easy to use. Much easier than QuickBooks. 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction for invoices...a bit higher than Square I think.

I've only had my storefront open for 2 months. I'm very busy right now. It only took me a month to figure out walk-ins can suck half your day away. The little rush jobs are encroaching on my larger business jobs - time for that to stop. You can tell immediately with just a short conversation if...

Hi Everyone, I have a request to replace an outdoor sign and I'm wondering what the best material to use is. I'm attaching a couple pics of the current one (I did not make the original sign). Seems to be some type of wood or something? Sign will be 48"x15" applied flat against wood above a...

OK, that's what I was thinking too. Thank you so much for all your help and quick responses today!
