  3. Magnet faded the paint?

    I always try to steer clients away from magnets. If they insist, I tell them that they need to remove and clean them and the surface weekly and when I give them over, I put detail wax on the back of the magnet and the vehicle and tell them that they should detail wax the magnet and vehicle...

  10. Need Help Customer files with different swatches

    I work with several agencies and we frequently have to match color. I have found it helpful to print PMS Swatches on my most popular materials for them. With that we have a good understanding of what we need. I have also taken the time to adjust a couple of mixes in versaworks to match...

    The Lesson that I learned A couple years ago, I spent about 4 or 5 hours designing a wrap for a local restaurant after meeting with them for an hour and talking to them for a half hour before that. I never got the wrap job and I supposed that it was just another loss. Last year, I was in...

  13. Which landscaping logo?

    In my opinion, you should work on the first one... Bring the blades of grass out to create the S otherwise they become distracting. In my opinion... Remember that opinions are like rear ends, everyone has one and they all stink at times.

    I do a ton of work for a pretty famous sailboat maker here and one of their logos tapers down from a quarter inch to a thread. I do it with Oracal 651 and have no issues. Since we do on average of 250 per run, I have designed the file to have strategically placed cut lines for easier weeding...
