Re: PC: Large Decals or Signs

Nowadays, computers have also invaded the "graphic arts" arena.  Most sign shops
are now able to take "camera ready" art work and make vinyl adhesive backed
decals of most any reasonable size.  I would think that something that would fit
on the door of a truck would be no problem.  My former in-laws had a vinyl sign
made for the back of their boat and as I recall, it was pretty reasonably
priced.  Check your local yellow pages when you hit stateside.  Good luck.
