Sign writing has gone out of fashion nowadays. Very few people do it.
What most do is get stickers made up with what they require. There are numerous Companies who will supply only the stickers for you to fit yourself, or you can go for the full package where they design, make and fix the stickers to your van.
I've used a Company in Orkney twice now (mail order) for different vans, supply only, around £40 for maybe 60 letters on each side of my van.

I Wouldn't say so, seems a very good and professional way of promoting your business having a high quality sign writen van.

It's worked for me anyway

Think what alanl means is real sign writing ie man with brush, tins a paint and a lot a talent. Not just a person with a load a sticky backed plastic sicked out of a PC. Complete van wraps seem to be leaving that behind now.

That's right, a bloke with a number of fine paint brushes, who uses paint to do proper sign writing. The last time I heard of that was a few years ago at a Company I was working for, he charged £200, and took 2 days to do a van - he was semi-retired, and said there was no way he could do it for a living now, as there just wasnt the demand for it.
Vinyl stickers would be done in a hour, at half the price.

I use magnetics, 4ft by 2ft, one on either side.

i would get afew magnets and stick em to the van- if you need to sell or change the van its a quick switch also im thinking of making my own sighns out of red/yellow/green leds and make some sighnes that light up might grab peoples attention abit more altho i think i heard something about not being aloud other lights then white/yellow and red on a car.

No way would i RUIN the value of the van by having it "sign written " etc , Imagine you have to change something a year after like a phone number etc ? Good quality Vinyl can look exactly like paint if you source the right type and font .
