The sign was once an illuminated sign but the new owners don't care and didn't know it lit up. The job is only 15 minutes away and the substrate looks good. The guy is even going to take the panels off for me to just pick up. Yes it has an old vinyl graphic that is already peeling off. I don't think there will be a ghost image after the old graphic comes off unless they light the sign later on. I own an operate an appliance business and have for 24 years. My shop labor rate for appliance work is $60 an hour. I'm only asking because they are friends and they're trying to start their business and save a few bucks so they asked me since I made there window decals/car decals. I will need to buy a roll of 24" 951 in black to do the job.
