I haven't done a sign that large as a reversed black out face, but for the smaller ones I have done I have always used a cast black vinyl. They have always been opaque enough to work. Whether I would have a seam would depend on where the sign is, if it up in the air a seam would be fine, eye...

"the dealership. prepare the raping" An appropriate spelling error considering what the dealerships charge for graphic replacements

In that case I think you may need to set up to make you own blanks. The one problem I always had was getting a nice smooth surface. For sandblasted blanks belt sanding or a hand planer may be sufficient. If you need a "perfect" surface a table planer is great, but not cheap. Maybe there's a wood...

Do you do your own blasting? If not you might want to sub out the whole job.

Probably not, a lot depends on your contract language. Best bet is a contractors lien/small claims court.

We put one of those real estate sign spring clips on the top of the slide in frames to keep them in place.

What kind of "sign boards" are you using? My first option is always to try to use a prefinished product. If that's not possible then the materials used vary with the type of project.

If your mural is covering a large specific area why does that area have to be painted at all? The other suggestion is to try a wallpaper type product like Phototex

Why PVC? I would build a frame from PT and skin it with ACM, looks the same for less cost and no PVC edges to deal with.

How I would handle it depends on the client. So he's a good customer but you haven't seen him since you did this design? He hasn't brought any of his other work to you since? If that's the case I would send him a polite email, highlighting the "fine print" on the proof about design rights and...
