If you’re good at your job, writing your own van is a good start. One thing I done years ago that I got masses of work out of, was signwrite the local "builders cafe." Do a fair price and a job that really puts what’s already there to shame. We done the whole cafe in Alice in wonderland theme, based on mad hatter though. It was all done with a comical twist which made it a massive talking point. Ok it was murels right through on every wall which under normal circumstance would have been unaffordable, but it was viable! The owner became a friend through it, and it was pretty much expected that whoever used the cafe had me do their work. I got literally dozens of vans and trucks because of it. A lot of them are people who still use me now, however the cafe was done in 1989. Best sprat to catch a mackerel I’ve ever done…
