Default Supplier for vinyl stripes / circles...

Hi all,

I'm looking for someone (local preferred, but internet/mail order OK) that can provide some custom sized vinyl stripes for the car. Specifically:

- 2" x 240" (20') roll in one solid color
- 11" x 240" (20') roll in a different solid color

- 18" diameter circle gloss white x 3
- 11" diameter circle gloss white x 1

Some searching either turns up people who want to sell me:
- an uncut 15" x 30 foot roll (one raw material size)

or

- a cut to width roll that's 150 feet long (another raw material roll length).

Is this something that Fastsigns can do?

Thanks in advance,
ed

Ed:

I think you accidentally posted this on dorkiphus instead of emailing it to Fastsigns



I suspect no one wants to fuch up a 30 foot roll to do this, as they might have a hard time using up the narrower width. If you offer to buy the full 30 foot roll you can probably get the vendor to cut a 2 inch strip as part of the deal.

Yeah, that would be acceptable. But any sources locally?

It's a bit out of your way, but I've done a bunch of vinyl sticker stuff at a little shop in Damascus MD, Roby's (http://robysphotoshop.com/). Friendly folks. Ask for Lyle, and tell him I sent you. I suspect he'll be able to give you quotes for everything you need. If you decide to use them but the drive is inconvenient for you, I may be able to pick the stuff up for you. Or if you do make it out there, maybe you can drive a wee bit further and stop by for a beer.

Try Signs by Tomorrow in Tysons. (703) 356-3383 They have done this for others in the past and I have found them to be reasonable in pricing and consistent in workmanship. YMMV.

WetchCo Signs in Frederick also does outstanding work.

Brian does anything from full wraps, custom laser cut lettering, and laser etching and engraving. He did a great job with the boat this summer.

I asked about a single stripe (10") and two smaller stripes next to it.

Signs By Tomorrow- pound sand, not interested.
