'Just skipped this thread 'cause I had paid mine I got last week. So they were free... well...

These d-bags never came back with 18 thousand dollar job* so I can live with the lost of another $300 coroplast because I'll be working for another customer that picked me for my quality of work, not because he can play with me (price-shoppers, d-bags, ...) *if they ever do, they'll shop the 35...

As long as I will be the boss here, I will decide who I'm gonna work for and pick the jobs that will please me. I have no staff and small overhead so there's no money good enought to force me to do a job for an energy sucker or someone who see me as a cheap "letter maker". I do signs & vehicle...

All I can say is Oracal's 210G is a great laminate, superior gloss level, very li'l "silvering effect" compared to other brands BUT... I use a laminator so pressure is even and the take-up saves me from this issue. Good Luck.

Phototec, I have the entire collection of these designs of CDs and it's not one of 'em.

To me the one from U-P seems very close (read look better) but unfortunately the size won't make it. It's like 6" x 118" and the one on the pickup is probably more around 8"-9" x 192". It could have been made "custom" or in small batch by a single designer/installer like me who serves car...

I've been asked to write a word on the windshield of a GMC Sierra pickup in the same font as Sierra emblem on the tailgate. Any idea if this font is available or if it has been customized by GM's graphic designers (?) Thanks in advance

Here's a link for Bee-Line cliparts: http://www.beelineclipart.com/Product_Black_and_White/images/068.gif

I'm pretty sure you could find nice ones on BeeLine collection. I think there's one called Trades & Occupations where are stored many great hand draw cartoons of bodyshop workers. Istockphoto is my other source along with vectorstock and few similar places...

As a long time user of cast metallic films, I would suggest to go with 3M Scotchcal film or Oracal's premium cast for the film itself. To extend longevity, the very best stuff I use for my big rig clients is Premium Urethane Automotive Clearcoat. I've done tons of airbrushed graphics for...

If you want to make it quick (we all try to...) blow it full screen and hit "screenshot" button. Open new file (blank), paste it in, save in whatever please you (pdf or jpg) and send it that way. You are sure your customer will get it full screen and will see the same exact image you had on...

Your sample is very small but to me it looks like MECHANIC, a font I had in Casmate-Pro over a decade ago...

I had a customer like that but finally suggested 'em to go matte on glossy for the subtil side of it. They agreed and everyone were happy. Sometimes we have to close our eyes and do the job as it's requested, even against logical. When it's small letters, you can offer 'em the domed option...

I just downloaded Asimov font and it will do right for the request and the pic he provided. Thanks a lot jhilldesigns!:U Rock:

what I found online (Google) is their new logo which has some noticable modifications from this previous era one...

I have this sticker to reproduce for a local bodyshop who's repainting the fiberglass bed cover of a pickup truck. This is what he supplied for retracing (...) so I wonder if it could be a real font I can found somewhere instead of pulling my hair trying to vectorize it... Any idea? Thanks in...

I had the last 5 yards of an Oracal 290GF laminate roll with matte spots everywhere (usually fully gloss). I just run the heatgun over it and all came back shinny as expected. Yes, it's a waste of time but it happens with ALL brands, computer-cut color vinyls & laminates. Some are worst than...

Black Lambo with few bug splats, few fingerprints and very li'l dust: can live with it Chrome Lambo... you want to shoot yourself so you wash it, than the scratches appear so you take another bullet...

215 is stiffer than 210 to lay down perfectly. 210 gives really great results here (but I'm using a laminator though...). For even more perfect jobs right out the laminator, 290GF (optically clear with synthetic liner) is like a wet clearcoat. I use it for most of my jobs (especially wraps...

I agree with Border. I bought a 5 yds of chrome from Universal Products (Avery) that is labeled as Premium Chrome, covered by a 5 years exterior durability. Since I haven't really time-tested this stuff (job was done last summer...), I can't write a review. I'm an Oracal 351 user usually...
