Just a straight forward edge job for a couple of clients.
The paint guys van is 1 of 2 that we did.. actually we don't do many vw's but this one belonged to the Dutch Air Force in Labrador.
The font for the paint guys is one I got off that Kid's Font site that was posted on the Disscusion board, it's a nice Script.

Nice Work Neil,
Was wondering on the Ford Van do you just use HP Vinyl, Transparent or Mesh on the windows.
Just curious, hard to tell for sure in pics. Have a job I am bidding that is similiar.
Thanks Dave

Hi Dave, we just use reg Arlon intermediate Vinyl on most of these Jobs, Most Vehicle lettering jobs are only nedded for aprx. 3 years, then they are turned in on a new lease. Also we clear coat all our prints with Frog Juice, for protection.
We don't use the see through vision Vinyl any more at all. It will not last more than a year, it fades really quick. Also the print looks really weak.

Neil your work really does stand out and make an awesome impact for your clients advertising. I can see why you have such a big demand for what you do. Nice job!!
I have a question? The Paint Guy truck... What the hell is it? Its funky looking and I cant tell which is the front or which is the back:) Is it a pushme pullyou llama type truck? I've never seen anything like it here in the state.

Thanks Bob! Karen's right, it's a 91 VW. Van.. I drove it to the carwash, and it's like brand new. Usually they are rusted out by now, but this being from where Mike O'Neil is from it is virtually Rust Free. They Don't use salt on the roads in Labrador.
