Maybe if you suggest they could cut their cost & increase durability & improve the appearance they may rethink it. If they won't reconsider I understand, just keep on and collect the check. I have to still do government site signs with 3/4" painted plywood...

Applying black vinyl isn't an option?i

Yea, I use the post covers from HD a lot. I tried those shrink wraps ones years ago, didn't like it.

What's the finish going to be? How are the letters/graphics going to be made & attached?

Best bet is Craigslist. Ebay or whatever local classifieds you have. It can be hard to find an 8' brake used, but a sheet metal shop going out of business or retiring is a good source. You can try used equipment dealers too, but they generally handle heavier stuff.

I don't either, but it doesn't help when the editor of the oldest and largest sign trade magazine propagates the same false information.

I hope the customer has the size right and did a day/night 2 layer translucent print.

During a recent discussion on what is and is not legal when it comes to using trademark/copyrighted designs I remembered seeing this in one of the trade magazines. Couldn't find it then, but just came across it again, from Signs of The times September 2017 about the Best in Show winner of the...
