vehicle raphics: bob the plasterer
Hi a quick posting of a couple of vastly different jobs we have undertaken today……
1. Bathrooms & Kitchen showroom, 22m x 1m folded aluminium background powdercoated to Ral 5012. Built up polished Stainless steel lettering, 700mm high in Benguiat, applied vinyl lettering for the phone numbers.
2. ‘Bob the Plasterer’, Ford transit vehicle livery – the brief was that and I quote ‘I want nothing fancy, just lettering’, which is exactly what he got !
However the simpleness of the type and contrast of the yellow against the metalic blue coachwork actually works quite well and is really eyecatching, which as a mobile advert for his business was exactly the result he wanted and out walked a very happy client.

Steve, missed you on the other post , so Hi and welcome. Variety, that’s one of the great things about the sign business. Just one little crit. it may be an optical illusion but the spacing on the secondry copy looks a bit off, especially the i and n look a little close , and also can you make your pics a bit smaller ,I’ve only got an old wind up computer.

Nice work Steve
Eventually got to see the pics – I’ve not yet connected to broadband!
Glad you could share it with us.
Who makes your Stainless Steel letters? Must of cost a fortune at that size

what can i say steve.. very impressive! love the large chrome built-ups.. looks very smart. do you fabricate these letters or apply only?
as for the bob the plasterer, yellow does look good against the blue. & i understand what you say about the customer just wanting plain text. i hate hwne they ask for stuff like this on a day when you have plenty time to be a bit more creative.. 🙄
constructive critisism:
back window of the van is running down to the right. you can see this running away from the heat strips to one side..thanks for taking the time to post your work mate. would love to see more when you you find the time. 😉

Good stuff all the same 🙂

outline, i can honestly say mate that i have never had a problem with wipers damaging the letters other than grazes dulling the vinyls shine..
🙄i could be wrong of course but i have never ever have had a problem with it. 😕

Thanks for the comments, constructive critism always welcomed.
In regard to the text running down, the lad’s assure me this was actually replaced ahead of the client collecting, although I only have their word for this !
The stainless steel lettering was supplied by Centre Signs in Leicester, who have always supplied us a top product and on time.
Post lots more images when I get 5, but very busy at the momment
