  1. New Shop Truck Layout

    oh yeah thats funny...i'm gonna use that! Digital Yak!!! Is that similar to Digital Technicolor Yawn or Digital Buick? Funny. Tim
  2. New Shop Truck Layout

    i think you need to know what the rules are before you break them. Do what the others suggested...squint and look at it. I don't think it looks THAT bad but i think the door handle/vehicle wraps placement is bad. Lower it and relocate the other tag line. Like previously stated, this should...
  3. Grimco Closed Today 12/31/10?

    my local supplier Denco Sales is closed today...streets in town are relatively empty and methinks everyone is preparing to tie one on tonight in the hopes that 2010 was just a bad dream.... ...welcoming in 2011 with a headache! Tim
  4. Who says Scooters ain't Sexy

    wow, some wicked custom paint there....i guess that answers the age-old question of what does one get when you cross a Hayabusa with a Vespa. Had no idea they did all that to scooters....crazy. Tim
  5. Nissan logo - Formed plastic question

    look here for some examples of chrome paint. http://www.alsacorp.com/products/killercans/kc/killerchrome.htm Tim
  6. The Signmaker's Assistant

    i got it for my kids years ago but it got misplaced somewhere along the line. It was a cool book for the lil ones. Tim

  8. 3M Reflective Vinyl IJ680CR-10

    i love the stuff. Use it on tow trucks religiously. Tim
  9. Graphix Unlimited Sign

    i think it looks killer with one criticism....i think the maltese cross kills it. looks like an afterthought. To me , it doesn't need it. The logo says it all. JMO. Tim
  10. A different kind of vehicle skin

    Righttttttttttttttttttttt. I'm sure Monster Energy went ahead and gave you their approval to use their logos for you to make a few dollars with.... As if they don't care how or what their nationally marketed brand is represented on. Puhleeeeeze. Call a spade a spade. Nice work 'tho...
  11. Removing handlettering on fire truck

    thanks for your post. Thats how i clear my gold too....right after spinning. Slight overlap to seal the edges too...which outlining covers. I've been using HoK clear striping urethane w/ hardener or HoK UC35 brushed on w/ no reducer, just w/ hardener. My minor problem has been delaminating when...
  12. Removing handlettering on fire truck

    great and profound post Gino! I don't do surface gilded leaf as much as i used to, but when i do, it still is as much fun as it ever was....the problem is having customers that appreciate it enough to pay what its worth. I still do stuff like this now and again....it aint a fire truck but you...
  13. Removing handlettering on fire truck

    Clear coating in some senses are better...modern urethane clears are pretty durable. However, i don't know what you are using to top coat your surface gilded jobs (perhaps you could enlighten us), but i've had 2 part urethanes delaminate off the leaf surface a few times. Combine that with a...
  14. hand painted banner

    i have about half a quart of that stuff in my cabinet...just in case....it was made by Best Buy Banner co in Riverside. I believe they quit making it. I keep the leftover amount for doing spare tire covers made of naugahyde. I used to use enamlkote a ton years ago. Now its quicker faster and...
  15. Removing handlettering on fire truck

    these days Signgold holds up BETTER than real gold leaf when you take the limitations of the clear coats to overcoat the gold. Doesn't Signgold have a 10 yr warrantee if you seal the edges? Tim
  16. Removing cast film and vehicle paint damage

    i don't know about the issues you speak of, but i show people a disclaimer stating, "We are not responsible for any underlying paint defects". Meaning say someone had a cheaply done fender repair where the painted surface was improperly prepped/lacked adhesion and while removing any graphics or...
  17. Cheap Vinyl Shrinking

    OK, sorry bout that. I just hate cheap vinyl with a passion....and yes i did read it. I wasn't trying to be a dick. Tim
  18. Cheap Vinyl Shrinking

    easily solved problem: stop using crappy cheap vinyl. Serves two purposes, you turn out a better quality product and don't have customers potentially hatin' on you for the grey adhesive shrinkback.... Tim
  19. 03 Ford Harley anniversary crew cab

    that is indeed true as evidenced by the Ford part numbers....no individual pieces available. You MAY wanna try e-bay, sometimes these show up in a case similar to yours where someone only needed a portion, but its a longshot. Tim
  20. 03 Ford Harley anniversary crew cab

    the FORD dealer.....it isn't a commercially available stripe. The micro-printed "HARLEY-DAVIDSON" embedded in it with the silver and gold metallic makes it hard to duplicate. if i'm not mistaken these are the Ford part numbers: 3L3Z-1620000-BAA (2003 BLACK RIGHT) 3L3Z-1620001-BAA (2003 BLACK...
