Where are the pics then of this "better" technique then? I'm happy with mine and won't be adding anything else to it, less is more in signwritting. You do see some vans with so mch crammed onto them that you cannot take it all in, or cannot read it as the print is so small!!
I thought there would be more pics on here though- doesn't anyone bother with signwritting anymore, or is everyone running around in a estate?!!! :

when i firs started 11 years ago i hade my van done with magnets , i left the magnets on all the time ,and when i took them of they took the paint off as well.
so my next van i had painted , the trouble is when i came to sell it well you dont get what they are worth.
now i have got another van and this one as you can see from my earlier post has got vinyl stickers on , all of these vans were done by the same signrighter, who has moved with the times like i have.

i would never use magnets again and i would never have a van painted again esspesially not a new one. roll on the next invention.

Hi  Gaz and Rich, i was trying to point out the difference in skill involved applying letters or signwriting, I have not put a pic on as A: i dont know how to and B: it smacks of look at my van with its signwriting  i try to be modest. Rich my total cost of wfp system was £1.8K thanx to this forum that includes 3 poles and 650 litre tank if you guys dont live too far i could bring van to u if youre that intrested. Gaz do you sell the salmon brushes im intrested in ?

Newpy, out of interest, the photo on the back of your van is copyright of ionic systems, did you by a reach & wash™ I am sure you have, if not beware as there sales director comes on this forum.

heres mime , I did it all on the Pc in a program call serif pageplus 10 and just gave the sign makers the disk -

put all the inportant stuff on the side door so when its open the they can still see the numbers - up here for thinking , down there for dancing

No worries Jon , just pulling your leg anyway !
I would like to see your van anyway , i dont think that i have ever seen a van with signwriting done the old way .

Hi Jon,
yes everyone gets ribbed on here so please don`t take it personally,
if you have a digital camera take some photos load them on your computer then click on additional options,
as "Bodge job Rich" says  it would be good to see sign writing done the old way,
and i`ll email you with brush details,Gaz

You van signage is brilliant. The rear is vantastic.

Got the logo from ionics direct on a cd, when i bought the system.

[newpy]

Forgot to say with regards to the rear vinyl, maybe i should charge ionics for advertising space! I got the nod for the reach & wash logo, the pic i scanned in, but i'm sure there is no issue there, as when i upgrade to a bigger system, ionics will get the business anyway!
I'm not into self building as i haven't got time. Fairplay to those who have save themselves £££'s doing their own.

I had some vinyl signs done a couple of weeks ago - both sides for £40. Just 'Window Cleaning' and my mobile phone number (haven't got a landline).

So far I've had one phone call and one person leapt in front of me in a car park.
