Sue2 920 Posted June 1, 2015 Probably because you are not considering your design time. weeding, vinyl prep and install time & labor. Not to mention your skill and equipment costs. Sue2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted June 1, 2015 Prices may vary by area. I would get that done in one color like you show for about $150 to $200 around here and I never sell vehicle graphics in calendared vinyl although 651 is probably the best calendared available if you choose to go that route. The $200 would be for 751. You might have $25 in materials if it took half a roil which if you are cutting on 24" it looks like about 3 yards to me. The rest if just the cut and prep and install should go in an hour. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted June 1, 2015 I would be happy at 250-300. But thats just me .I have my own reasons for my the prices i offer..I usually pay attention the expression on thier face when i give a quote, i normally will have 2 prices i work up.I would hate to lose a job and sometimes i do but, i always have a back up cost that i feel good about as well.Even tho your price might be where it should be to cover all your costs etc for your work and so on,But knowing this sale could bring you more down the road also is what i keep in mind.Just my own thoughts... looks good tho.. I would go with 751 due to the vinyl will always be in the sun. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeeble 64 Posted June 1, 2015 If they think the price is to high then i might offer a bartering some lessons since my daughter is alread riding there until the end of summer.. I also quoted some t shirts with their logo on the back for a camp she is having in the summer.. again might do the bater think with them..... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted June 1, 2015 Bartering is always good. I usually do a price check once in a while with a competitor. Like have your brother-in-law get a few quotes for something so you can judge that you aren't too high or low. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Command 97 Posted June 1, 2015 Personally I'd be at $150 if they drove to me. (Rural PA pricing) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenwind / One Off Grafx 187 Posted June 1, 2015 It is on a Ford DOUBLE your price. LOL I do $7.00 a foot so this would be about $180.00. Less if they remember to bring me a Monster or two. Barter is always good. As for them getting more stuff in the future is all good but i have found people say that to get a good deal then you never see them again. I tell them if you come back you will get a discount on your next order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Command 97 Posted June 1, 2015 I got 25# box of coffee once for doing a glass door, lol. Sometimes barter is the better deal if it costs them less to give you an ARV of more than you are looking for 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted June 1, 2015 Be two bills, using 951. You want to use at least 751, give your customer a quality product for their money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GraphxNMore 282 Posted June 2, 2015 Was the period after the M being left off intentional? $275 in NE Arkansas, more if I had to go to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted June 2, 2015 Was the period after the M being left off intentional? I noticed that too. I thought it should be J.L.M. - but what do I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pshawny 410 Posted June 2, 2015 What if you mirrored the horse design on the tailgate so that they are either both facing in or facing out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

express2100 154 Posted June 2, 2015 Well since everyone else is voicing their opinion...... I think you made bank on that job. But the JLM on the door looks off center. I know from the J to the last period it is center but that is not what the eye picks up. I would have built it with the L at top center and equally spaced the J & M on either side. I would have also tucked the periods in closer to the letters. Oh and your ~'s on the box side are not all evenly spaced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted June 2, 2015 I think you made bank on that job. I don't think it's been done yet, just Photoshopped onto the truck. I may be wrong. It's happened before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeeble 64 Posted June 2, 2015 you are correct.. this is just photo shopped onto the truck. There are a few things that need to be fixed before the final cut.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeeble 64 Posted June 2, 2015 Ive tried to do what express2100 recommended with the J.L.M... i just cant get it to look right.. still look weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knucklehead 530 Posted June 2, 2015 Leave the dots off the JLM on the doors, then you could center it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
express2100 154 Posted June 2, 2015 Hmmm? Many companies don't use the periods. If it's an option for you try it without. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
