Two week wrapup! Started my weeks in the air dressing up Valley Township's new recycle truck. Extendable platforms are wonderful things.. but my knees still hate me. From there, down to Avon Grove to help the Lions Club decorate their new enclosed trailer being used for testing kids eyes. Had to get that done before temps pushed back into the 90s! Next up is work put of the norm for our friends at Downingtown PD - helping dress up their new digs by installing frosted vinyl on some interior rooms and on windows along the front of the building. Frosted department seals on the double doors provide a clean look through the hallway. Following that, department graphics for Darby Township, matching their existing fleet - all reflective of course! And finally, one of two new Lightnings for the boys in green at the Parks service. As always, thanks to all involved and for the work!

Some behind the scenes from this week. I've been out of the sign business side of the biz for a few years now, but I took this one on for a favor for a friend. 4' x 8' x 3" thick foam/hardcoat from our supplier at Peachtree Foamcraft based off a supplied design. Delivered and installed at Chester County Prison in the Chapel. More work was done internally but privacy keeps me from those photos. I did get one of the etched glass logo installed on the front window though!

Weekend wrapup! Yaa! I remembered :-) Leading the charge this week is a colorful new livery for Montoursville PD. All 3M 680c reflective, so its going to be hard to miss in a small town. From there, a new ride for PennDel Middletown EMS in Langhorne. All reflective, naturally, to match their existing apparatus. And winding up the week with updating Wagontowns apparatus to the designation of Rescue, replacing the old Squad lettering. 23kt RealGold over 2mil black. New fender decals, reflective of course, round out the truck pair. As always, thanks to everyone for the work and continued support!

Ok, yeah, yeah... its been a while and yes, I've been very lax. First up (reverse chronological order) is a new public works truck for Tredyffrin Township. 3M 680 reflective, of course. A new Durango for Caln Twp, with a new look with color matching Dodges' Destroyer Grey. First time for a ghost graphic for the Township. Up next are a pair of Hatboro PD Utilities with a new look for that department, designed by Tam Arte, of course. 3M reflective graphics all the way around.
From there, out to Paoli Fire to decorate their new Tahoe, complete with RealGold door seals and reflective striping, of course. Following that, an out-of-County trip to repair the graphics on Spring Township's Ford, hit and repaired on the driver side, front fender and door. No room in the bodyshop (or so they said), so this one was done in the lot... not recommended.
Back to the upfitters, Briar Creek PD receives a new Utility with a complete new look for that department. No reflective on this ride except for the chevrons, but a slick look with Sapphire Blue and metallic Silver.
Finally, one of the hottest days of the week and before (and for) the holiday, the Downingtown Municipal Bldg gets their address on the two front windows in RealGold to mimic what was there years ago. The complex also received a couple directional signs at the entrance. What a hot, ugly morning it was!
As always, so many thanks to all involved for the work!

Yes, I've been lax in posting. Life as we know it, you know. Over the past weeks a couple of ghost packages crossed the pipeline, one for Sadsbury PD and one for East Fallowfield PD. Standard stuff on both rides, 3M 680c black reflective with printed seals. Moving on, Malvern Fire wanted an additional panel on their tanker, this was achieved with a large swatch of fire engine red vinyl with white reflective to match a physical panel on the other side of the truck. After that, we moved to Caln Townships new public works trucks. Pretty straightforward on the white 5500 with printed and cut door seals and 3M's prismatic high vis green striping down the sides (and tailgate, not shown). But things went a little sideways with the black 2500. I was told the door lettering needed to be retained. I usually debadge vehicles like this for a reason - and that reason are logos that are not symmetrical. So, unfortunately, these look a little odd offset on the door to clear the lettering. Moving on, West Pikeland PD came to us for a brand new look for their patrols. Fresh striping of non-reflective black and metallic gold, with reflective white and black chevrons on the lift gate. As always, thanks to everyone for the trust and work!

Been more than a week.. but here's the wrapup! West Bradford's new Traffic, replete with their distinctive stripe pattern, gold leaf copy and door graphics and paint break pinstripe (including inside the cab). Moving on, a brand new livery for Hatboro PD. Custom printed 3M reflective of course! Thanks to all involved for the work!
