I can copy an image from pretty much any source and paste it into Corel X4. No help or tips.... just FYI. Didn't know you were a Xara user Wes.

I don't know these ones. Links please....

Racing? Cars? Dogs? We need more company info!

Not bad but isign showed you how it could to be tightened up. You could also do "dreams" all caps to fill in the hole. I like the slanty guage but agree it could use a redline and you could also slightly bend the needle. These little tweaks won't bother the customer at all and you'll have a...

This is why you should put someone else in charge of your company's image.

Wow. This is what goes on inside our customer’s heads.... scary stuff. The critiques of people’s work that helped you for free were probably a bad idea. Although, the content of the critiques is comical at best: "something about the M being emphasized doesn't sit well with me with what I do"...

I use flexi starter to run my plotter. Works great. It was free with the plotter but can be had pretty cheap.

"Come For the Care....stay for the buffet?"

I liked the Dr. Seuse tree. I read up on St. Olga. She was no Saint! A very ruthless woman. Many deaths.... I like the warm colours. Maybe something could be crafted using elements of Heath's and Watson's together with RJ's colours?

Bite me! (just kidding)

Glad the customer is happy. (The thumbnail looks like a birthday cake at a rodeo.) I was going to suggest something a bit more Martha Stewart and a bit less tattoo parlor/BarBQ.

I only sand the primer and the latex in the lettering. The primer I use is a sandable latex primer for vinyl house siding. I sand the carved lettering a tiny bit with 320 grit before I seal it to the mask/panel and again after the seal coat has dried. Just enough to knock off any dust nits...

From a PM from Keith: "This image is exactly what we're going after. Would you mind telling me the steps you did to do this? (you mentioned painting them by hand....are you meaning with no mask? I'm just about to try the BenMoore Aura line before I leave today....I have very high hopes that...

The font for "armor".

What a load of crap! I roll my signs with latex house paint and they look great.... close up too. If I wanted a handcrafted sign to look like the side of a fridge I suppose I'd have to start spraying them. (And I do have profesional spray gear and I do know how to paint a car) Here's a sample:

Is that "Iron Maiden" Maniac?

Keith don't worry about latex not being durable. You just need to find a process that works for you. I do my signs by hand so my lettering comes out (literally) razer sharp. I have no idea how to advise you about routing through a mask other than doing a bunch of test panels. Hopefully...

Blue and gold looks good too. Hey there Arlo!
