Reminds me of years ago. I had just started out in the sign business working for a guy that owned a trophy shop. I had a guy that owned a auto detail shop, and he wanted his van lettered. I gave him a price, and he said he would think about it and be back. I saw it a week later, and he had bought a set of stencils, and painted the letters on. There was a nice little square with over spray on the outside, and runs in the letters running down the side. All I could do was laugh.

You know, Rick, I'll bet if you search thru some of the sites where you can download free fonts, you'll find one of more that will probably be pretty close to "whatever" that one is.

If not Dale...I'm sure a new font named "spray bomb" will likely be created by someone and marketed to graffiti artists! No worries though..it'll be free.

Gee, I don't know. I wouldn't want to keep too near that van. Might be a set-up for a kidnapping.

Reminds me of the time a fellow needed numbers lettered on his truck to pass Canadian Customs rules and regulations. They had to be 4" high, in standard block. I quoted him and he left. About two weeks later he came by and he had the lettering done by my competitor. When I mentioned it to him, his reply was, well it only cost me half what you wanted. I then told him he had gotten his money's worth, as the letters were only half the size that I had quoted, a "Flash" letter and not to Canadian Customs specs.
