How
do I take care of my Paint & Vinyl Lettering or Pinstriping?
Paint:
When
properly cared for, your lettering or pinstriping should last
for many years. We've personally experienced it lasting 10
years or more. Do not wax, buff
or power-wash for 30 days. After
3 days, you may wash gently by hand. When power-washing*,
keep wand at least several feet away from lettering or pinstriping.
For longest lasting results, as with all painted surfaces,
protect from the elements & excessive wear whenever possible.
Painted signs need no special care.
Vinyl:
Most
regular vinyl is warranted by the manufacturer for 5-7 years.
Premium vinyls may last 8-10 years. Specialty vinyls (metallic,
reflective, fluorescent, etc.) don't generally last as long.
For
vinyl lettering, wash gently until vinyl is bonded to paint.
However, as with paint, close-up or excessive power-washing
may erode the surface. Vinyl signs need no special care.
*For
best results, DO
NOT POWER-WASH painted or vinyl
graphics. We cannot be responsible for paint or vinyl failure
due to power-washing.

What
is the price difference between Paint & Vinyl?
Generally,
the cost is about the same.
How
much do Signs/Pinstriping/Graphics cost?
Each
job is unique so prices vary widely. We always do our best
to give our customers what they want, and we can work with
almost any budget. Please call
or email for a free estimate.
That
said, most of our focus is on special, artistic, high-quality
graphics with great customer service. If you are looking for
the cheapest price for simple vinyl lettering, you will probably
be better off ordering discount vinyl over the internet or
from your local "fast" sign store.
What about Digital Printing?
We
don't do digital printing at this time.
The
equipment to produce it is expensive, the results can look
sort of "flat" & aren't always long-lasting,
our customers aren't asking for it, and we can produce excellent
custom graphics without it.
If
you have any other questions, please
call or email.
