  1. Wrapping trailer with aluminum trim

    I think that removing the caulk will look much cleaner. This is a brand new trailer, so it seems it shouldn't be too difficult compared to caulk that is old and brittle. Any tips for removing the caulk? And I would then just replace it with a clear silicone caulk? Thank you!
  2. Wrapping trailer with aluminum trim

    Thanks for the reply! When trimming around the compartments and windows that have caulk around them, do you usually trim the graphic back off the caulk?
  3. Wrapping trailer with aluminum trim

    We are also contemplating wrapping over the black window trim as seen in the attached photo as well. There is a small strip of rubber at the bottom of these windows that we would trim out, but if anyone has experience with wrapping these please let me know any pointers or advice you may have...
  4. Wrapping trailer with aluminum trim

    We are wrapping a 42' trailer (police mobile command center) that has a lot of aluminum trim around doors and slide-outs/compartments etc. The customer supplied the artwork and has some text that goes over these wide trim areas (trim is up to 2" wide on some parts). My question is, if we wrap...
  5. Screen printing raised letters on aluminum die cast parts

    I have had a customer request a quote to print 3500 of these pieces. They will be powder coated red, and the raised letters will need to be printed white in 2 different locations on the part. We have screen printing presses that we use primarily for printing shirts/apparel but have set up before...
  6. Installing U-Channel posts in asphalt, suggestions?

    Thank you for the replies. I have called a local asphalt sealing company for a quote on the install, this is probably the route we will go.
  7. Installing U-Channel posts in asphalt, suggestions?

    Thank you, that is exactly what I needed to know. I've already called 5 rental shops in the last 10 minutes and no one has one (nothing within a 20 mile radius of our shop). Looks like I may need to broaden my search to a larger area. Thanks again!
  8. Installing U-Channel posts in asphalt, suggestions?

    We've been requested to provide a quote for installing 20 parking signs on an asphalt parking lot. Just wondering how this would typically be carried out. I assume there are specific tools that would be used that I probably don't have, but I may be interested in getting them or would at least...
  9. Need to repaint aluminum cabinet and steel poles, suggestions?

    Sorry, not sure why those photos are rotated like that
  10. Need to repaint aluminum cabinet and steel poles, suggestions?

    I was asked to bid on a job replacing some pan faces for a sign. Upon close inspection, there are some issues. One of the cabinets (top hinge) is installed between two 6" square steel poles, the other is mounted on top of the framework for this sign with a center-pole mount. The lower marquee...
  11. HELP! Where to find Ecosol Max ink on a Saturday in Chicago, K-Zoo, MI area?

    I'm certain I will run out tomorrow (working all weekend on this), but I am planning to pick up from fellers first thing Monday so we can finish on Tuesday. I am just freaking out over this job, I hate last minute rush orders. Thanks for the replies and messages!
  12. HELP! Where to find Ecosol Max ink on a Saturday in Chicago, K-Zoo, MI area?

    I think I am in trouble... I took on a bus wrap job with very short notice Monday. Ordered media, saw that I had a full set of inks in my printer and a whole extra set of every color. Well, didn't get to see the artwork until Christmas Eve and this artwork is using a TON of magenta. I am only...
  13. Printing translucent graphics - will this concept work?

    I'm sure this could work, and is probably the way I will do it. I am not sure about the graphic registering properly this way, it will probably be a paint the the @$$ no matter how we do it.
  14. Printing translucent graphics - will this concept work?

    Thanks for the reply. I think we will give it a go. I'm slightly concerned over the silvering effect that we are likely to encounter by mounting the white translucent film on the inside. We will DEFINITELY let the sheets outgas for a couple of days after removing the protective covering on the...
  15. Printing translucent graphics - will this concept work?

    Not planning to re-use the existing faces, we will be replacing them with clear UV-resistant polycarbonate sheets.
  16. Printing translucent graphics - will this concept work?

    I am working on an estimate for a customer that needs the faces replaced in his sign (flat not pan). The existing faces are 20+ years old and have held up very well. The existing graphics are painted on the back side of clear faces. The new sign face graphics will require digital printing as...
  17. Font ID help?

    Old Century looks like a match to me! Thank you!! :U Rock:
  18. Font ID help?

    Thought at first glance that this was Benguiat, but it's not, and whatthefont hasn't given me a correct match. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
  19. Seeking source for these fabricated stainless letters

    I made a mistake when supplying my customer with a bid on this project, hoping I can get this straightened out.... These letters are 5" high avant garde, 2" deep with bottom studs. I quoted this using my gemini catalog but didn't realize that in order to have bottom studs, there MUST be a back...
  20. Help determining size of pan face

    If you would have read my post, you would know that I am NOT INSTALLING THESE FACES. I'm fairly confident that if I talk to the manufacturer of this cabinet, they can certainly tell me exactly what size to make the faces. Trust me, I'm not ordering $2000 custom pan faces without being confident...
