  1. I dont do to much vinyl cutting these days, however I'm going to help a friend do his full size RV.  I have no clue what to charge him.  He wants to pay full "normal" price but I'm struggling to figure out whats normal.

     

    Its all one color (black) lettering with a simple elk graphic.

    It will require

    3 - 50"x43" decals

    1 - 12"x60 decal

    3 - 15"x15" decals

     

    I will be installing it myself and I need a general ball park estimate.  I've tried using some of the price calculators but I can never seem to figure them out.  someone please help.


  2. Man, I need some serious help on learning what our craft should charge.  To many time I shoot way to low and get burned.  But at the same time I don't want to quote to high and lose the job.  I've tried comparing prices with other sites and using a price calculator that was going around but I'm still not confident in giving quotes.

    What would you charge for a 2 color 24"X45" decal?  I was thinking like $45 or so... Am I way off or does that sound about right? 


  3. nice shirt, seems like a lot of work. 

    I think the reason other people charge so little for the coro signs are because they buy them in bulk and they screen print them.  That keeps all the costs lower.  For smaller shops it wouldn't make sense to buy thousands of blank signs at a time.  But also the screen printing produces a sign is much faster then vinyl.  Vinyl is good for small jobs but screen printing is the way to go for larger jobs.


  4. Im not gonna lie, as far as police cars go those are pretty plain Jane. But maybe that department isn't as well funded as most. Great job on the decals, I could never do what you did, just saying not the coolest design or layout ive seen.

    HAHAHA I hear ya.  But thats what they wanted.  I wanted to at least do the badge larger but they wanted it that way... I don't know...  They were happy with it.


  5. Thanks Guys,  The Badge is layered.  We Originally planned to screen print it.  But while we were waiting on getting the artwork together to get the screens made we decided to try it layered.  It came out so clean and crisp I think we're just sticking to layering it.  Which is fine with me.  Less work as far as getting screens made.  And it will never fade. lol


  6. So I have some decal listings on ebay, all of which are original artwork and someone emailed me and said they want to get a decal for their truck but with the purchase they want to see if they can get a higher resolution of the "logo" so they can use it on their business cards. 

    There is no way in hell I'm giving him my art, or at least not giving it to him for free.  What would you do???

    I'm thinking of blocking him from my listings so he can't buy it and scan it and rip off my art.  HELP!!!  What should I do?


  7. veddderman123 : Awesome bro! LOL I know we have unique skies around here. Plus almost everything is stucco. LOL What kinda work do you do if you dont mind me asking.

    Just odd and end jobs here and there.  I just work out of my house more so as a hobby and play money.  I'm slowly working to get more serious about my vinyl cutting.


  8. Crazyness!!  I was going to ask if that was in albuquerque because of the style of architecture on the building and the blue skies.  then I seen you're in gallup.  weird.. huh  I'd recognize that NM sky anywhere.

    But great looking Sign Awesome Stuff!
