Like mentioned..... almost any sign supply distributor or a local windshield and glass house.

If you're in Tracy, CA and this is going on a sign (like a backlit cabinet) or you are making a sign for a building or property, and it's over 500 bucks, you need to have a California contractors license.

Not to de-rail this thread for her, but what happens if.........

Another sign company or the owner of the sign asks you [in general] to decorate the face of an electric sign and you have nothing to do with the cabinet, taking out, putting in or installing of said can...... Do you still need the license you are talking about ??

when asking for a where to buy, it would be helpful if you added in the -----, state area. check your local area where ever that may be to see if there is a plastic supplier near by. there is one in my area and I live in a small state so you may have one too. who do you buy your sign supplies from? they should have anything you need

She should be able to decorate a panel.
She is not allowed to "contract" the install through a sub-contractor. The owner would have to permit the sign, or the owner must hire a licensed installer permit and install.

So, can the owner actually do this without having the same permit a sign shop needs ??

It's the same permit, but an owner can pull the permit as long as they, their employee, or a licensed contract are installing.

If you are in the sign business, you need the basic skills of being able to phone a supplier and ask for the material you need. Without the ability to do this, you will have a tough go of it.

It boggles the mind that the younger folks of today for some unknown reason forget that they have all the information they could ever want right at their fingertips, it's called the "Internet" you lazy little chits. Anyone else remember actually using a phone book.
