Title: Magnetic Signs
Post by: David 'Duck' Clare on April 03, 2006, 05:35:34 pm: Hi all,

I didnt want to get the car sign written - so i bought a pair of sign magnets. These only cost £26 inc p&p and the artwork (which i will admit is 'out there' - but i like it :).)

Heres a few pics, if anyone wants some ive got the ladies email / tel number.

Personally i think there a good idea and my father in law wants a bigger set for his van that Tess says she can do for about twice my car price!

Mine marked the paintwork. I stuck them onto a wet car and left them on. Over time it faded the paintwork.

It didn't bother me; I'm not car proud; but if you were, then you might get upset.

The Green Mondeo in the pic was bought off ebay for £385 with a years MOT on it, trusty old faithful as i call her will be in service for 9 months then sold, then the next motor if you see what i mean!

Hence the magnets been a good idea!

Post by: David 'Duck' Clare on April 03, 2006, 06:24:51 pm: Most people call me DUCK, small world!

Mine actually came from living in Chesterfield in Derbyshire, where everyone says 'a up duck' instead of 'how are you?'.

So when i moved down south everyone thought i was weird and hence i got the name duck, so i called my company blue duck!

Glad you like the signs by the way!

Post by: jinky230 on April 03, 2006, 06:29:08 pm: guys thinking of going down the vehicle wrapping route as it is a great way to advertisie

anybody done it yet = how much does it cost I was catering for about £1500

but over 5 years this only works out at 300 a year

what is vehicle wrapping it is when they wrap your whole vehicle and turn it into one big graphic advertisement -- they look great

any advice would help

Post by: matt on April 03, 2006, 09:36:40 pm: i use magnetic signs aswell

i got mine on ebay for about 30 quid delivered

i used to work for a local council as a carpenter and they sometimes used them, 1 of the sign writers used to lightly oil (just run a slightly oiled rag on the back of them) the backs of them, it stops the friction and that causes the paint to "fade"
