customer emails me apdf file of a garbage truck with lettering superimposed over the back garbage section. The truck has from what I can tell 4" or wider ribs runiing on angles every 3 or 4 feet. ther copy is not really that big and so I sit here wondering how on earth can one make BS like that work, let alone quote it. I mean if a letter hits the majority of a side rib it wil be unreadable and dumb looking.

Maybe best to walk away from it

You might want to suggest an aluminum sign that can be attached.

Yep, we use dibond

What Fred said.... or make a pounce and hand letter it on.

Projector and hand paint gets you looking good from straight on, but still funky from any angle. Mounted sign is the best choice with such deep ribs.

Make them the sign and have them install it so you don't have it stinkin' up your shop. Charge a lot extra to install it. You can smell a garbage truck from a block away; I can't imagine what it would be like working on it .

A dukedom? Perhaps a princely appointment? :ROFLMAO:

that is exactly what I used on an entire fleet of garbage trucks. 4x8 sheets of .04 aluminum. they bolted the panels directly to the truck using self taping screws right into those ribs.
