very nice indeed! I sure like to see a giy smiling while he works too. I've ground my teeth down to nothing from just the opposite.

Looks nice, but the black truck looks like it needs some cosmetics itself. I been using Rapid, and also windshield washer fluid.

Just curious how mush did you charge the guy

I charged $1400 for all 7 trucks, I was going to tell him $1800, but then I crossed it out, and wrote in $1400 on the estimate, Because he leases the building from my dad.  He didn't even shop the price, when I did that.  so now I always tell people it would be this much, but I will do it for this, then make up a reason to give them a discount (i.e. First time customer, repeat customer, etc.)  It took me about 3 hours at home to get everything ready, and about 6 hours to install all of them, including driving time, so I had about 9 hours in this job.  The material cost about $50, white oracal cast vinyl, and stuff to install, so that left me with a profit of $1350 or $150 hr.

Ryne,

Think like a buisinessman.... It's good to call the money over cost of materials "profit" - but really - you've got to pay your phone, utilities, gasoline, mortgage (or rent), etc...  Then what's left over is profit...

Great looking job!

ya he didn't shop it at all, but I am not sure anyone around here would have done it cheaper.  the sign shops around here are all really exspensive.  I have my buddy go in and ask them how much for a chevy logo that was 3' x 2' and they quoted him $137.84 just for the decal at fast signs, and the other ones were more exspensive that that.  that is only 6 sq. ft. so material would cost about $3.00, and it would take about 5 min. to make it.  I sell the same decal locally for $60.00 just for the decal, another $30.00 for install, so $90.00 installed which is still cheaper than fast signs for just a decal.
