No problem layering the vinyl, but what color is the background? Black reflective lights up white, so if the background is white it won;t be legible. For black lettering on white reflective I use my regular cast black vinyl.

Eric is the man! Bailed me out many a time and always for a reasonable cost.

Better to find a wholesaler and mark them up till you see if there is enough demand.

Hanson in New York State does a good job. I've only used them for sandblasted but they also do carved.

He used aluminum, but said steel would last longer. It's for wood boxes that hold saluting cannons, so he wanted a vintage way to put the logo on the box.

I have a friend who has a small machine shop set up, he did this by routing a piece of metal and attaching a handle to it. He didn't cut all the way thru, just deep enough so it burned the wood without touching the back of the plate.

since this is 4 years old and they haven't posted since we will probably never know what they ended up doing....

I've use either 3M(Gerber) or Arlon. For most jobs the cost difference isn't significant.

OK, it's been a while since I serviced anything like this, but as I recall, when properly installed, these type of letters would have a method of removal for servicing. So I would look very closely at the mounting to see if there is a way to unfastened and then remove. As has been said be sure...

such a pretty piece, they're going to ruin it

Usually fabricated in house. A sheet metal shop could bend them up for you.

I prefer acrylic on smaller signs 4x8 or less, it's whiter and stays whiter longer. Polycarb for anything bigger, exposed to more stress or a need for seamless install.

Thank you Fred for turning this place into the best sign hangout on the web and good luck with all your future endeavors. And welcome Paul, I hope you live up to Fred's example, but I have to say that starting out with some weird Russian spammer filling the site on your first day is not a good...

We bend our own trim on an 8' brake. You can use different colors of .040, paint it, or cover it with vinyl.

Wow, that is a new one, good luck.

I'm sure there is business I have never seen because of online giants, and not so giants. But what I offer isn't available to most people shopping online, 40 years of experience with materials and installation and the crew I work with who are very good at what they do. Design, material selection...

I reading it as he's guessing it's about 350 s/f It could be 100 s/f. Three lines of 12" letters on two sides and proportional on the back with the name above the cab would be about that, and I have done just that on some box trucks.

Hard to say without seeing the design.
