A specific sign

[IBFLYIN]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I bought a bay sign for my car wash. It's a simple picture of a truck with cans and garbage that says "No truck bed washing" on it. I looked through Kleen Rite, Dultmire and Sonnys and can't find them.

Thanks-Scott

It sounds like one made by Craftmark. Does it look like the 10x20 NS-79 "No RV dumping" sign here?

Thats a nice sign and I just tried ordering 4 of them for my wash. They take online orders but only accept COD or checks / money orders for payment. The order confirmation that they email you says to mail a check to their company in Fort Worth Texas. No zip code, no street address, no PO box!!

So I go back on their site to the "contact us" area to get their actual mailing address, and I see where all orders are FOB Fort Worth, and they accept credit cards for payment!

Not a very user friendly website or purchasing experience. I sure hope their products are better than their ordering system!!

Just to give credit where credit is due, the company called me up and told me that they have had a problem with their website and thought the credit card issue had been resolved. A very nice customer service rep named Sarah took my information and all is well.

I always had problems getting the right signs. I also wanted to display my carwash colors. Then I got a local company to do it but I kept changing things around and never was happy until I found Inkscape ( http://www.inkscape.org ) to do my own signs. I play around with it, save it as PDF, email it to my local sign shop and a few days later I have the sign exactly as I want it. Maybe worth a try?

For a custom made sign I have used www.buildasign.com I order my signs from them on aluminum. They have held up well for me in the bays. I have some some that are over 3 years old and show no signs of wear, fading, etc. You upload your own design or design your own on their website.

I used them to make these:

and these:

This is the complete package:

It dressed up a wash I built 25 years ago. I have also used their aluminum signs at the entrance to the automatic, near the bill changers, vender, etc. Those large menu signs were only about 35 bucks each. At that price I could replace/refresh them every few years if need be.
