Seems really random, and it's usually whatever I happen to need for a deadline. We also had supplies held up by the storm at a Fedex depot in New Jersey.

An option is to add a panel to cover old lettering.

are you using a heat gun?

No issues other than the usual items being 5-10 days out.

This is a year old, wonder how Julie made out.

We put retractable cords from the ceiling in the shop area. If it was in the office/computer area I would do the same but skip the retractor.

Nice layout

Sounds like he's doing what he's told and neither his boss or the customer want to hear different. So good for him, he got it done the way they want. Maybe now they'' get why it's stupid

That's a little too far, I'd like to check out and pick up in person

Where are you, Where are you, I might be interested

OMG I think you may be right....it's certainly creative:roflmao::roflmao:

I started with the local sign guy in '73, then went to Butera Sign School in Boston. Hardly use my brush kit anymore except for gilding. I was just telling somebody how I decided to learn carving in the 80s because "they'll never replace that with a machine" :roflmao:

Yea, we did some crazy big jobs with the Edge, including partial wraps on some busses. Best machine I ever bought

I've been doing this long enough to go from paint to vinyl to digital and I can't believe I now advocate for "old fashioned" cut vinyl when ever possible if it's a long term out door job. Most of my vehicle clients have come to expect 5-10 years from a lettering job.

Unless it's an unusual item it's included. Aluminum is recycled. Steel is left out for the scrappers. Everything else (including ACM which isn't recyclable here) is cut up and tossed in dumpster

It was so great when that came out, Signs Of The Times had become a "corporate" sign mag and SignCradt was about small shops making great signs.

wow, I get why you're reprinting and I would do the same. Too bad she's not a real restaurant, it'd be great to get a huge catered order for the shop and then refuse to pay because it wasn't exactly right. "These tacos don't look like the picture on the menu" Of course you could always drop a...

PITA I know the type. I would probably redo and never let them darken my door again

Go with your own suggestion to trace the vinyl lettering that is already on there then peel it and handletter. I would use the same paint. It will take a couple coats and it's a bitch to letter with latex but it can be done, I know I lettered a few signs with latex paints when I was in an area...
