Title: Signwriting your van ?????
Post by: Murdie window cleaning on April 08, 2010, 08:31:44 pm
For those that have done it, is it worth doing ?

Does it bring in much work or do you do it to look more profesional ?

Are they easy to apply yourself?
I was thinking of doing this myself and wondered if you make a mistake, do they peel back to apply again or do you have to get it exactly right first time?

m8,it so simple you can do it with your eyes closed,at the start can be a little fiddly by the end its so simple and easy,and knowing you have done it yourself is a good thing.

Thanks

Any chance of a link to the correct web site as thesignbuilder.com seems to be just a directory for various other companys  ???

I'm probably being a bit stupid today though  ::)

they are perfectly straight,its because they are taken from high up and the lines on a fiat doblo dont run straight,if you look at one you will see.
they are perfectly straight and has got me 3 guest houses and a 18 bedroom hotel and pub,was only parked up for 2 hours outside a couple of guest houses i do ;D
