    Do it in a bright yellow cast, if they still want day-glo vinyl give them a two year grade. sod getting involved in how long they want from it. its max two years and thats that mate… if they can find someone else to give them a gaurantee over two years then they will pay through the nose for the material or not get it at all. i doubt they will pay over the odds for a skip!!!
