Anyone know of a good, inexpensive supplier of (possibly) custom EMCs? Looking for a 6' x 18" model, monochrome red. Who do you use?

Looking for a manufacturer/fabricator of custom PMS color matched aluminum panels, as well as poles, using Kynar 500 Paint (or like). Been running into issues due to the low quantity we're looking at, just trying to see if anyone has a recommendation for a company that can quote this out...

What's your guys take on this? Don't want to scare the bastid away, but want to make a few bucks at least. Subbed out the work since I don't trust myself with a blowtorch. 30% is about what I'm thinking.

Hi Signs 101 - We're looking for an experienced wrap installer in the MD area. Have some jobs lined up, and our current freelance installer is quoting far, far above the market average (trust me, it's ridiculous). Feel free to contact us on here, not sure if I can post a telephone number or...

So we had a customer that wants to meet up and discuss highway signage for a hotel - we know that there are probably regulated materials we have to use, as well as permitting, but are unsure of how to best go about it. Does anyone have any experience with placing these, and if so, can you give...

We've recently had a run of good luck, and came across a freelance wrap installer with a good amount of experience. Although I've done quality installs on my share of partials and lettering, we prefer to use him on larger jobs so that I have more time to do sales, which is my main focus. Long...

So we purchased some RBS's relatively recently, and have had a problem with 2 of them. It seemed that the adhesive strip on the top bar was not strong enough to support the weight of the banner, and the banner was pulling away from the adhesive strip despite being "locked in" via a metal clamp...

Any Ideas? Our GA says he went through all 8000 of ours - unless he's BSing us ;) looking for top and bottom if possible

SO, we contacted a company in Tacoma, Washington to do a vector of a jpg for a church... I don't think that we'll be using them again. Unless we need more retarded alien sheep. I especially like the "artistic touches" they added, like random lines, not-completely-hidden strokes, flowers where...

Does anyone have any information on where we can find a PMS Code conversion chart or something that would convert an existing code for toyota (in this case 4q4) to a PMS code? Customer has a van fresh painted "Toyota Beige", code 4Q4, and we're trying to match the background of some graphics...

OK, so we have a job with 125' of total frontage along an awning 12' in the air. Customer would like to have the entire 18" valiance painted red, with White Vinyl RTA letters applied on top of paint. We've already priced out the paint, and were wondering if there are any tips to getting the...

Just curious as to what you guys think about in-house cross training of employees - Does your sales staff do general design work? Does your GA coldcall stores? I know a lot of you guys are owner operators, and this should only apply to people you hired on to be 'sales' or 'graphics'... to be...

Hey - anyone have any recommendations on preperation and materials to be used on awnings? We're doing a job where a customer wants their logo + some letters, and were wondering what vinyl to use - we hear that 3M would likely be the best with that. Also - are there any quick tips of the...

Anyone know a company that'll do custom cuts? Specifically, we're looking for the fastest turn around time possible - price takes a backseat to speed in this case. Signs'll be 6mil or 8mil, 30" x 36", complex shape. Vector would be provided by us.

So we had a (neglegent) customer who left his double sided banner out in 105 degree weather a few weeks ago, and since we completed the job for a broker, who is giving us constant business, we agreed to replace it free of charge to make them, and us, look better. I know, I know, "free of...
