I know I've seen tool belts "designed" for vinyl sign installers in one of those catalogs that sells lots of sign supplies, maybe it was called "Signmart"? Also doesn't the guy in the cowboy hat sell them?

They're only house signs, what 16"x18"? Just do a little research on how to prime & paint, I'm sure Precision Board has a spec sheet. But I wouldn't do high gloss, that isn't really appropriate for a sign on a historic building, use a quality latex trim paint for the final coat. Hand painting...

Since you said double sided I assume they are read from both sides, which means they should have a block out layer.

One other thing, I would try to get them to go with a white border, lot easier to line up and apply the vinyl.

There are other suppliers out there, and this order could be easily shipped. It's a lot of time to cut, radius and punch that many signs unless you have the right tools, like a corner punch that will do that type of material. Even then I'd rather buy them ready to go.

I try to avoid pulling permits and price it accordingly. We do like Gino, if a client buys the job I will provide all necessary drawings and if they bring me the forms I will even fill them out, included in the cost of the job. Anything beyond that is charged at an hourly rate plus fees, and the...

I'd get a price from my supplier to cut the blanks w/holes. Then I could get the price for the vinyl and estimate the time to design/cut/weed/apply, add some time for my bias that things go faster than they usually do and then add my mark-up/profit.

wow, so mysigns4u is the one responsible for all those great convenience store window graphics.

How about this one... http://graphicd-signs.com/portfolio/vehicles/

One of my favorite comics made a sign funny

The pvc panels were thru bolted. The names were all local newspapers, the name was the same as displayed on the masthead. Believe me the guy was so anal there was not one thing misspelled

Here's two examples. The black one is about 4'x8', the before/after ladder style one is about 12' tall

I hate tenant signs, they're never readable. You haven't done anything like this before huh? Usually they are too big for anything like a 4ever frame. And magnets is a bad idea. We usually build them with 4x4 steel posts or bigger, sometimes 6"x6" PT posts. They are usually done one of two...

Was the paint one of those "scubbable" kinds?

Why not have the detailer remove the old graphics, clean and prep it. Then you letter it and it goes back to the detailer for waxing?

Yep, that's how the know-it-alls just looking for a pat on the back play it.

Have you considered hiring a "partner"? You could set it up so after a set period of time they would buy out the majority.

Thanks

I'm doing a 100' storefront with matte black 3mm ACM. I was wondering if there is a nice aluminum "H" channel to use on the seams instead of just butting them together. I checked Outwater Plastics but I don't see one for 3mm(1/8") Anyone have a source? Thanks

Very nice offer, I hope someone takes you up on it. reminded me of when we used to get the butt ends of newsprint from the local newspaper.
