  2. Favorite Quote from a Customer Today

    I recently had an older gentleman (82 I believe), come into my shop for graphics for his hot-rod. He was very 'alive' for his age, with a great wit (which I love), and a great zest for life! Vey funny man. After laughing & chatting with him for a bit, he told me..."you're NEVER too old to...
  3. Favorite Quote from a Customer Today

    I know this story ^^^ all too well... I drive a VERY decorated 1950 hot-rod panel truck for my shop truck. On one side my company's name has 6 different kinds of gold & silver leaf work on it, and the other has alot of graphics, and a pictorial with my company logo also. And, of course, BOTH...

  6. Nos 1 shot..........

    I do the same thing here too. As for the red, I was told that right after the big switch to lead-free paint, that they had some big problems with durability, gloss, & fading (like Jill and everyone else had experienced)...especially with the reds. Apparently, there was a big batch of 1S red that...
  7. Olympic signage and Dan Antonelli

    This is exactally why I come here, or whenever I go to a panel jam or a letterhead meet, and especially when my SignCraft shows up each month...the FIRST thing I like to do is get lost in the portfoilos! I LOVE to see the new ways people have been using shapes, colours, designs, etc. My...

  10. Spring cleaning.....should've been fall cleaning

    Hmmmmmmmm....I guess I need to speak up here. I run my own shop...and it's absolutely full of hot-rod & chopper projects. (I should post a pic). Now, I'm not the guy that just collects junk either (denial!! hahaha)...the big mess is from my current project that I work on most evenings &...
  11. Wall mural

    I'd say this needs to be painted, (as Dave has suggested), or tell the customer that they're gonna half to operate their place without a mural for a few weeks....that is if you don't mind eating this job if a problem does arise. the 'old proverb..."a lack of planning on your part, does not...
  12. reason # 43 to call.

    We installed a catch basin for the drainage ditches in front of our home some years ago. Called the utilities for a preinspection & plot. You guessed it. I have a picture of the installer guy with a stream of water shooting up from under him to about 25 feet high! Had to shut down the...
  13. Gorilla Glue Guilding

    I think the Magic sign looks wyld! I love signs made using different approaches....(car parts, body parts, old junk, etc...). They still need to have a good layout and be balanced though. From what I've learned, the GG technique is not necessarily for signs to go on a bank (elegant, scrolly...
  14. Will this work-salvaging old material?

    If he's gonna be THAT cheap with his signboard...then you've got bigger issues with this customer. If this was going to be a seasonal sign for the backdrop of the local baseball park, then that's a different story. But if it's going on his business.....??? I sho customers like this right...
  15. how is business so far this year

    Ya know...that's actually a good thing. When the slowdown hit me, I cleaned the shop, remodeled the paint area, put up new shelves, learned how to run my Edge.....etc. Take advantage of slower times to do those jobs around the shop that you never seem to find the time to do. When the work...
  16. ID I think this is hand painted.

    It's Patrick, please......:toasting: I charge by the hour, so it'd be a wash as for however I did the job. Couldn't you just scan it, clean it up a bit, and print it off??

  20. Shop Truck concepts

    I really like the new design alot! it looks great, and fits well with your business theme. I do like the ghosted logo on the back, but I hope that the buylines and website pop more on the final job. 1 thing nobody has commented on (for the first 3 examples), was the missing phone numbers...
