How
do I care for my new truck lettering or pinstriping?
For
truck lettering we recommend not waxing the lettered
area for 30 days. This will allow the paint to cure
fully before being "sealed" by wax. Any sooner
and there could be adhesion problems.
When
washing we recommend no automated carwashes and avoid
pressure washing as much as possible. For you "over
the road" truckers, tell the "Blue Beacon"
guy to back off the pressure.
Same
rules apply to pinstriping, however, wax can be applied
after two weeks.

What
kind of paint do you use when custom painting motorcycle
parts or automotive artwork?
Typically
we use automotive urethanes in a basecoat/clearcoat
system. We create only high quality finishes utilizing the full line of Dupont Performance Coatings from stock refinish colors to the complete Dupont Hot Hues custom finishes line.

Would
you rather I have my motorcycle parts painted first
before I deliver them to you for artwork?
We
would prefer to do the entire job from a quality control
standpoint, not to mention the fact that if we do the
whole job we can stand behind the work. It's nearly
impossible to guarantee any work done on a surface someone
else prepared and finished.

Do
you use paint or vinyl for your signs and vehicle lettering?
This
varies depending on the specifics of the job. Generally,
we use a combination of both. For vinyl we use only
premium grade high performance films, typically guaranteed
by the manufacturer outdoors for 8 years.
For
lettering enamels we use only One Shot, its quality
and durability has become the industry standard.
Both
of these products in addition to our prep techniques
and quality substrates allow us to stand behind our
products with full confidence.

Do
I need to tell you exactly what I want?
No.
Typically, we get together either in person or by phone
to discuss your needs, as well as your likes and dislikes.
This helps us in creating an image or artwork that fits
you or your business!
