  • Sign Posts and Shipping Container Graphics, advice please?

    Afternoon all
    I have a couple queries I am hoping your fount of knowledge will be able to help me with.

    Question 1
    I am after 2 black square posts 76mm. I usually use sign trade supplies or signgeer but both only supply white.
    Any pointers would be great.

    Question 2
    I have been asked to sign up a shipping container. The client wishes it to be painted using a stencil and then either spray paint or a metal paint. My issue is that the container is the style with the large ridges so applying the vinyl for the stencil would become distorted and also most probably not stick to well as the surface would not be that smooth or clean.
    Has anyone done this kind of work or is there a specialist out there.

    Iain

    Hi Iain, although not done on a shipping container this project shows you how you could do it with a projector…

    Hi, I have applied vinyl to a shipping container! Not the easiest of jobs made even harder by the fact the customer had spray painted it themself so it had a heavy stippled effect! I will find some images
