Striping rolls to compliment vehicle graphics. 15-20 years ago, they were very popular... a li'l less these days unfortunately :( I've done tons of striping jobs back then...

'Can't see what you're talking 'bout... on pic #4, it's my striping tape racking (they were previously both installed in the back of my van before moving into my new shop).

Nice work! I would need like 10 of these to fit my inventory... (you will too) About 10 years ago, I decided to get 3 double-side vertical racks to get all my cast rolls (used for computer-cut graphics & letters) organized. They are sturdy and save a lot of sq.ft because they consist of 3...

I haven't seen it right before my eyes but my Avery dealer has the chrome in stock. Prettttttttttttty expensive though. Probably a better film than any cheap polyester on the market but still not sure I would do a fleet job (even more of that size) with chrome. Your customer will probably...

'Got my heavy-duty plastic/laminate cutter to work (the one I use on Plexiglass® or acrylic sheets) and 'done the job in short time. I made 56" X 8ft, tables to work my large prints but cutting mats came in 60" x 10ft so I know where you're going to...

This kind of "separators" are pretty expensive. I've been quotes $50ea. to fit my RediRack (warehouse palette racking). They are mostly used in places like HomeDepot and other renovation centers. You need a beam in the back to hang these "separators". There's few mfg. / suppliers in my...

Thanks Techman, that was the kinda post I expected when I asked the question.

I asked myself: "why the hell do people use 3rd party ink instead of the reliable OEM?" If the answer is to save some bucks, I think my request was valuable too but obviously, you folks do a way better living than I do so please accept my apologies for this stupid question / comment about the...

I see your point and honestly, I knew I would get that kinda reply but let me explain my point. I do striping on cars. Customers know I buy a $15 roll and do about 5 cars with a roll. I do charge $40 for a 10 minutes job with around $3 of material but they agree because I use professional...

I own a Mimaki CG-61 24" plotter for over a decade and never had a single issue with it. To top that, being the only one who operate it (no staff), the perfect weight adjustment for every medias saves the blade so much I only replace it every 2-3 years (seriously! ...but I don't mass produce...

When you work alone in your shop, every minute you can shave on a job may worth the li'l $5 asked...

WoW! Thanks it's a very good link you provided.:U Rock:

Well, I'm glad for you if you can get decent paint job under 4K for a pickup truck. In my area, a color change done with according meticulous sanding, prepping and basecoat/clearcoat premium urethane paint will cost that. Add that fiber box (many sq.ft to prep and paint) and you can easily get...

What do you use to create that life-like chrome effect in Photoshop? Here I have EyeCandy5 - Impact from AlienSkin and Dreamsuite from AutoFX software. They're good but not exactly to my liking. I'd like to push it a step higher. The only "great" chrome effect I've seen has been made using...

After 23 years in business, when you said YES to too many "hair pulling" jobs, you need to take that kinda decision. Sometimes it's better to let a customer go than working for nothing or blaspheming against it during the whole process. I have a stack of fun jobs waiting for my on the corner...

I expect him to be told around 4-5K for new paint so I figured no way I would work under $3000 for this wrap. 25yds of black wrap film in Avery (or Oracal, 3M...) would cost me around $800 but, as I work alone here, it would ground me for few days so I decline. I'm gonna call him back right...

That was my 1st idea (by miles) as this guy is always trying to negociate when it's time to pay (I usually start my quote higher knowing is such a PITA...). Just the pickup itself wouldn't be that much pain but the "over cab thing" will get the worst out of me (I already hear myself swearing...

I've seen a funny sign saying: LABOR RATES ½ hourly $30.00 If you watch $45.00 If you help $60.00 I'm thinking of doing it for the shop to set the boundaries...

I have a request from a customer to cover his new work truck, a 2009 F150 long box with big fibergass box. He bought it used because of a sweet deal but the vehicle is white while the rest of the fleet is black. He want it fully covered so he's inquiring if it cost less or more than sending it...
