Default Re: Race car lettering

We have an ice cream truck on the side. It has a '50's vibe to it. I started out looking for a vinyl lettering job as I couldn't find a hand striper at first. After getting what I thought were outrageous quotes for vinyl, I picked up the local track paper and found a guy advertising there. I called him up and was happy with the quote for two panels. After he started, I immediately recognized the kid was good. So I had him do the two remaining panels. I traded a 4.30 limited slip for an 8.8 out of my Explorer plus around $500 for all the work. Couldn't be happier and the customers notice the quality. Most can't believe hand lettering looks so good and that it can even be done anymore.
Stick with it. I doubt you'll ever go hungry!
