Rookie's First Real Job

Recommended Posts

I just thought I'd post a couple of photos showing my first 'real' lettering job.  I did it for a friend of mine in exchange for some help with some stuff around the house.  It is 2 color, 2 side, about 36"w x 26"h.  Out of curiosity, what would you folks charge for a job like this?  Thanks in advance.

Hey Rook, Nice job, next time, try this, leave a bit of space between the black shadow & the red letter. Your letters will pop a bit more. That's the way sign painters did it back before computer cut vinyl. Also, a shadow that isn't as bold as the letter, like a medium grey is a nice look. Don't get me wrong, I like your job, just giving some constructive advice. :thumbsup:

Good job, getting ready to do a small trailer for my neighbor.  Should be a fun job since I can take my time on it.

Reason I am asking is because I came up with $216 for just the decals and I would charge about $75-100 for the install.
