Sign written van pays off

[CJ]

Watch magnetic signs............they don't seem to like metallic paint.

WELL, they did'nt like my metallic van.............had to go back to signwriters and get them to take them off.......made a right mess of my paintwork. Then went for the normal sticky signs.

Have a look on ebay for car and van signs. Vinyl sticky or magnetic for about £30 for 2 panels.

Just the sort of thing I was consdering, just never got round to sorting it yet. Not too worried about my paintwork, cars done 172000 and the lacquer is coming off anyway.

How any miles grumpy..ffs...more than average or wot....................dave..

Aye, but it keeps going at the moment. When I start making big bucks I might be able to change to something a little newer, and also run a van!

Nice little earner though using your private vehicle through a ltd co. Can bill myself 40p per mile tax free for the first 10,000 miles, reduces profit so less corp tax to pay.:wink_smile:

i got magnetic panels made up 2x2 ft (x2) + 2x1ft for back door, £82.75p.
bargain! plus i've had a few calls since i put them on van, i wondered weather they'd be safe but upto now no-one has touched them!! touching wood!!!!
as long as its not too big for the panels no -one knows any differance!!!!

I've got the next few weeks out of my vans sign writing. I had a postie come up to me yesterday and asked me to do his kitchen and bathroom. Seeing him tomorrow. I live on a busy main road, and I find bits of paper on my van all the time. Life is good.🙂

I dont want to be negative but arent they a few downsides with a signwritten advert - because its practically a 24/7 rolling advert for people to come nick your tools as well?
Do you people make sure your van is alarmed when working on a job - or whenever its full of tools?
