The only part that seems out of place for a scam is the current client referring them, I would call them

If it's the paint they should return the car because it's defective.

You don't say what kind of project, but a good cast vinyl (and laminate if needed) should be fine. Installing in the cold is a problem no matter what you use. It's best to let it warm up a bit, or warm it before applying.

I don't charge for them. Most estimates aren't that involved, if I get an complicated one I make a judgement call on whether I want to take a shot at it. The ones I usually pass on are for a contractor (who isn't a repeat customer) who is bidding a large project and there on signs involved...

Just to cover their butt. Easier to send them to everyone than figure who should really get them.

One problem for anyone new is you may take twice as long to do a job as an experienced person. So if you use an hourly rate that is comparable to other shops you may never get a job. You may have to accept making less, maybe significantly less, on a job till you've learned the ropes.

"How would the client know which way is the best?" Because you said "Highway Signs" which to most of us means the signs are for a government entity and have very clear specs.

Yep, if you use 2" you will need a frame, or do two faces laminated to stiffener core.

If they're expecting a permanent solution I would suggest refacing with ACM. You'll have to add some support in the middle.

Why not ask the client the specs?

I'm supposed to know which vehicles have aluminum doors? I guess, but it seems like we are supposed to keep track of a lot of stuff that is constantly changing..."oh, now vinyl won't stick to paint", and "geez that material used to last 5 years or more guess I missed when they reformulated it"...

Yep, it varies depending on the job and the quantity

Just carrying on the tradition

Well, since there are now only a handful of merchants, none are in that area and apparently anyone can advertise here now, I don't think you have to worry about stepping on anyone's toe...

Jill, John Deaton or Neato have all done nice work.

I have also used Wyld and they do a great job.

So you are in England and want to sub out a job for banner & install in Scottsdale AZ? There may be a member here from that area, but if you get no replies, then Google is your friend.

They only "fit" sign in England & Australia. You bought a banner and want someone to install it?

Yep, Lexel for most applications. Occasionally epoxy for special situations.l

Ignore the mark. Center as though it wasn't there. If it looks bad, make it smaller or use a lighter color
