Re: Race car lettering
Todd,
I happen to be just north of Menomonie and paint a race car or two a year. It might be worth getting together and seeing if we can work together sometime. |

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!

Re: Race car lettering
After I wrote this, I thought about those guys that paint on a 24"x24" or so canvas on the streets of Las Vegas with spray cans. Pretty impressive stuff! What kind of money could that pay in a year?
