i just got my 98 astro van and i want to know what should i put on the stickers on the side. should i use magnets or should i use stickers? i had magnets made up. they say Pure Vision Painting, Interior/ Exterior Painting. i can do other odd and end jobs and all and i would like to let people know that. any ideas on what i should put? thanks again...this site is awesome.

You are probably best to either advertise a painting service or a handy man service but not both. As you pick up painting jobs and build a reputattion you can let people know you can handle oher projects for them.

Thanks for the advice. I will stick with just the painting side of it. What do you think I should put on my van?

I would go with painted on lettering...

any professional van or vehicle you see has either vinyl lettering or painted lettering--I have vinyl, after all, who wants to paint their whole vehicle to cover up their logo down the road? I have an astro and have my logo on the rear left and both big windows on the sides--I think it ran me somewhere around $300--
I personally think stating interior/exterior is goofy--I know some guys specialize in one, but most do both--What I have is....


I might get a magnet for your personal vehicle, if you take that sometimes...but DO NOT get a magnet for your van unless you want to blend in with every hack out there--it's a sign that your cheap and non-committed

if you use one-shot(sign lettering enamel) you can remove it with oven cleaner,done it 4 times so far...works like a charm and no damage to the clear coat !

Here, it is considered advertizing and has to include your lic.#. All comm. vehicles also have to display a lic.#.

I use mags because.

With a regular wash & wax I don't have to repaint before selling.

Certain developments do not allow commercial vehicles to enter before a certain hour and it must be gone by a certain hour, signage is all that they seem to care about.

Sundays are off limits in most of these communities but I have friends that live in some of them. I couldn't get in to help them out with signage on the vehicle.

If you have a vehicle go down and have to rent for a week or two the signage transfers to the rental.

If you travel, it's not always good to advertise 'tools & equipment onboard'.

Just some thoughts.

i got my magnetic signs from salvation signs on the internet...she helped me design it and i saved a bundle...if you decide on magnetic check her out.she told me just to put the basic information you want people to see....the rest they can call you and get.

Note: Commercial advertising laws are differnent in many states. Check your local laws.

As for me, nothing on the trucks works best.

To much work already or your truck looks bad? OR live in an area that you can't park a commercial vehicle?
