  1. Backlit Sign Help

    Your name is appropriate because after all that work it may still have a ghost :roflmao: If it was me I'd buy a new white formed face and apply a day/night print first surface.
  2. Urgent Design Help

    Blue & red on black may look good on a screen but seldom in real life
  3. Silver Vinly Rusting?

    That's about the life for that type of material. That side of truck may have been parked daily facing south. Whe we use those types of material we add a cast clear over it
  4. Salesperson from large company trying to steal clients?

    "Crazy Eddie from the old TV ads" on a completely unrelated note, Crazy Eddie started opening stores in CT right after we got our Gerber 4B. Got the job to put the brand names in a repeated pattern ribbon around the inside of the stores. Probably made the money back on that one job.
  5. What's (really) in a name?

    I see similar around here, trying to be hip and clever, but just end up sounding stupid
  6. When "your" customers get signage elsewhere

    So many reasons this happens. Sometimes its them thinking you're charging too much so they shop around and of course get a better price. If the new company falls short maybe they come back or maybe they don't because they're embarrassed to. Other times a new hire wants to make a mark by...

  14. Hand Painted Vintage Race Cars - very few left

The worst issue with this one was not having time to clear the gold before I lettered on top of it, there is no...
  15. Hand Painted Vintage Race Cars - very few left

    I've done a few, mostly stock cars, reproducing the original from old photos. Those are usually not too difficult because the quality of lettering wasn't always professional But this one was a real challenge, engine turn gold leaf meatball with lettering on top of it and it had to be done in a...
  16. Backlit Vinyl Bubbling After 3 Years

    What czar said, see if the box is full of water. You guys have had some serious rain and heat, is it possible moisture trapped in the box got absorbed by the lexan
  17. Rant Vector drawing,,,Have we gone back 40 years?

    I too started as a sign painter. I love Gerber for text and vector work. It was designed for sign makers so has features that mimic what we would do with a brush, like the shade tool.
