Has anyone lettered a 30' garbage dumpster?

Has anyone lettered a 30' garbage dumpster? I have a customer needing 5 30' dumpsters lettered both sides and front with just his name 30" tall x 27' long at a slight diagonal. The dumpsters are ribbed, (not a flat surface). How much longer does it take to letter a surface like that, and how much do people charge for something like that?

Vinyl or paint? A single name that will go between the ribs or a laundry list? Just checking, I have a client who I print decals roughly 30"x 36" that he applies to 3 sides of his dumpsters. Same decals for all three sizes of his dumpsters. Need more info to create an accurate guestimate.

It would be in vinyl, his name would be 30 inches high x 27 feet long, and his phone number about 1' high x 10' long.

well, start with how long will it take in your guess, and how much materials...etc...then price it off your shop rate/std material markup...

Time, material, prep time, drive time, your shop rate. Probably a intermediate vinyl as these things get beat to heck. Best it will ever look is after your done. You could do a quanity discount after 5 or 10. With text going between ribs thats extra effort to layout a job like that, don't cut youself short.

Do it right and paint it if it has corrugated ribs. Vinyl will end up looking like trash..... [no pun there, huh ??]
