  1. Frank Fellers, the Owner of Fellers Has started his own wrap shop doing wraps for $1,000

    2 questions I get asked a lot, what does a color change cost and will it cover rust? I have a number (range) that I carry with me in my head for a price. Even if it's less than a paint job and even when they say, "that's actually not that expensive", it's always out of their price range and not...
  2. Need Help Free sites for vector graphics

    I've been using Shutterstock or Vectorstock for these types of graphics. I know there are others as well that are similar. Vectorstock is the cheapest but neither are free.

  4. Songs stuck in my head

    I was preparing designs for production and something that keeps happening, that I thought I share, and see if anyone else has the same or similar issue... We do some work for our local YMCA and every time I need to go to their file to pull a graphic up I end up singing the D#@n Village People...
  5. Frank Fellers, the Owner of Fellers Has started his own wrap shop doing wraps for $1,000

    It's kind of like a car detailing shop. I suppose if they turn around enough cars this could be profitable or at least lead to more profitable work. It's a good idea however, I would advertise changing the color in a day but charge quite a bit more, use cast vinyl to speed up the process and...
  6. Need Help Drawings

    Just lost a job where the customer was price shopping but also design shopping. I provided the estimate and they were happy with it but wanted a design for a full trailer wrap to compare with a competitors, but we require a deposit. Emailed later to say that they were going to go with "the other...
  7. Sales tax question

    Good to know. Back then, my lawyer said there really wasn't much he could do. He said it was more of a d*#ck move on his part.
  8. Sales tax question

    That's actually a great point and something I was going to ask if this tax issue is really that big of an issue. My accountant gave me a sales tax exempt form for him to fill out. If he fills it out, I'll send him the invoice excluding the tax. At that point, I don't really see it being my...
  9. Sales tax question

    My previous employer stopped withholding my taxes and I was stuck paying them. So apparently, it's still the employees responsibility to at least make sure your employer is withholding it. He also stopped paying for the printing equipment that an employee and I co-signed on and we had to pay...
  10. Sales tax question

    Thanks everyone. I'll send this over to my accountant today. I appreciate everyone's thought on the matter. This was one of the many things that come up in this industry that I question and wonder what everyone else's take is.
  11. Sales tax question

    5.5% is the tax in my area.
  12. Sales tax question

    I was asked to wrap a 30ft trailer, measured, estimated cost and send a quote requiring a deposit. Customer approved but is trying to avoid paying the sales tax. I told him I would need a sales use tax certificate of exemption form filled out. So he sends me a department of revenue seller's...
  13. Financing needed for bucket truck

    Ally Bank is good we've used them for several vehicle loans. Also, like Jburns mentioned, local Credit union.
  14. Shop Cleanliness

    Yes. 2B is correct. We get several customers and body shops in our area that don't want to touch Paint protection film. It's like tint/wrapping a car for protecting it from scratches and rocks. Problem is, most people that want it are very particular or have exotic cars. Not sure if we'll get...
  15. Shop Cleanliness

    With the new year upon us and time to reflect on improvements to be made, I though I'd ask everyone what are your thoughts, processes, tips and ideas for achieving and keeping a clean space? We produce and install regular vehicle graphics to wraps, digital printed labels/decals to banners and...
  16. van lettering should i go with the molding line or use a level?

    I used a level once and ended up having to re-do the entire van. Now (Like Johnny Best's picture) I use one of the most level looking body lines and pick somewhere in between this line and level, stand back and if it looks good, I know the customer will be happy. Level means nothing if it...
  17. Would you accept this job? Is it even possible??

    We did 6 of these earlier this year but with just cut vinyl lettering and they were a headache. The paint was not in the greatest shape similar to this as well. My ego would want to try to wrap it but realistically....NO! Way too much time involved.
  18. Busy December?

    Incredibly busy here as well. We just received a huge banner order from a Nigerian prince. He even wants to pay in full with a credit card. Doesn't want to talk over the phone but that's ok, I don't like talking on the phone either. Win Win! Jokes aside...Yeah, it's a pretty busy end of the...
  19. Osama Bin Lauden

    I would politely tell the customer to provide print ready artwork and/or make them jump through a few hoops. Maybe they'll decide to go elsewhere. It involves a terrorist, a gun and possibly a nut-job, saying no might be a bad idea in this case. :confused:
  20. Eco Solvent Ink Dryer

    My goal is to speed up drying time, preferably be able to laminate right away. I have 2 eco-solvent roland printers. Does anybody have or know of a drying unit? I've seen several online but I'm curious to know if any work for immediate lamination after printing. This really isn't meant to...
