Anyone have a recommendation for stock military camo wrap (either digital or classic style) material/supplier that they have had good results with. Thanks

Where does the $6000 install figure come from?

Like has been said, depends on the job. Cut vinyl usually lasts much longer that printed for exterior applications. I can't believe that I now sell cut vinyl as the "old fashioned" method.

Totally agree with Rick "you can be taught the principles of design and drawing enough to service the needs of most of our clients... only a select few have been sprinkled with magic dust..." I did go to sign school, not art school, where you were taught brush skill and sign design. But that was...

These two books that Rick recommended are a good start. Building a Big Small Business Brand: How to Turn Your Brand into Your Most Valuable Asset: Mastering Layout: On the art of eye appeal You have to understand good sign design in order to evaluate an employee.

I did a job using transparent vinyl and edge printed some tones of color on it to achieve the look. Designed it with small "pieces" and added "leading" with vinyl stripes

I have used process black as a substitute for regular black in a pinch. If you're concerned about longevity do a double hit. We frogjuice everything that goes outside.

That wasn't noticed before it left? Agree, it needs to be refinished. But to me it looks like it was already old, like Tim said. I would think a rattle can of black would make it look fresh...

I took a look, thought nice sign, shame they didn't paint the wall first and moved on...till I just read Rick's post. The letters are clearly messed up exactly how he has shown, and you can see it in the pic of them on the ground. The Y is obviously thicker and you can see the center of the P is...

Looks good, materials should be fine.

I'd use an ACM panel, probably on a 1x1 Tube frame, then mount with clips. Beware, those panels could be steel, even porcelainized steel, which can be a bear to drill in.

I second calling steelart

I agree about asking Wyld. If not the reverse vinyl is a good option

Thanks Chester!

Customer sent a pic of their door lettering to replace with same font...anyone recognize it? Thanks

I agree, sub them out

Gatorfoam painted white may be fine by itself. If you want heavier use 1/2" white PVC. You are going to use LEDS that look like little lightbulbs?

We would make a separate raised molding from .040 alum and often add a piece of 1/4 round molding inside the raised molding.

I may switch to ACM for the tenant panels, but have to stick with the 1" pvc background. So I guess my best option for fastening the panels is thru bolts.

Beautiful work Philip. I think you may find a good market for small panels like these
