Finally decided to have mine signwritten 2 weeks ago so far only one call, and that was from an agency to see if i needed any labour!

 

[DurhamSparky]

mine gets done tomorrow!!! will post some pics when its done...!! unless its lashing down and its cold..!

 

[Spudnik]

Chaps, i have added a poll to see how well van sign writing works.

Hope you dont mind

I just have simple magnetics, about 4ftx2ft in size. They've been on 4 different vans now and are looking a little worn but TBH I dont think it's worth a fully signwritten van anymore as most new customers either get told about you or google for an electrician in their area. A strong website is better in this day and age I feel.

Show us ya van then durhamsparky...

 

[DurhamSparky]

its in the Sparky Pub!!

 

[jase]

does a signwritten van look good in the pub?? dont want customers getting the wrong impression!! unless it's friday after work!!

nothing on mine for the following reasons:
1. change vans regularly and got sick of getting re done
2. often subcontract and lot of firms dont allow signwritten vans
3. dont like advertising to thiefs what may be in van

although am considering magnetic signs like lenny

I am also just about to get my van done.

found that signwitghters are not graphic design people so dont offer an opinion. what you guys think of my ideas (colours on van pic not correct look at pdf for the colouts and fonts I want, too much work to keep changing the van mockups myself).

Where did yoou get your signage as I was considering applying it to vehicle myself too?

 

[a12jpm]

Ebay. Type in "van sign writting" or "van graphics" there's loads on there. Mine was about £75 from memory.

 

[andekoch]

Thanks Paul. Like your web site. Who did it for you? Can I get the code so I can mod for myself?

Also a typo on the "contact" page "if you wnat to get in touch" ie wnat.

cheers

Cheers mate. Did it myself hence the typo. Email me your email address and I'll send you the code. Just need dreamweaver or similar to edit it.

Be warned though on stella number 4 now so don't expect it till the morning!

If the signwritters are not willing to help and assist with design, find another one that is. Indian lad did mine and he was spot on with it, he spent ages advising me and did a good job.

I bought a 600mm vinyl cutter from fleabay. I watched a few "How to apply vinyl" videos on youtube and I did my own vans plus 3 plumbers vans at £100 each. It looks good and I can change the sinage whenever I want. I can also produce my own promo (consumer unit labels, bellbox stickers site boards. It's even made me a small profit (not to mention a good few nights on the lash). Vinyl is quite cheap, and it's really theraputic weeding out the waste.

Lenny, where do you get them made in that size from?
I've been struggling to find any big enough.
