Why didn't the last guy show up? Maybe he isn't satisfied with the price he charged. Your picture did not come up, but that seems way low for this type of work.

David, We do alot of this kind of stuff. One thing to keep in mind is in order to do the car and make anything on it you need to be able to buy the vinyl in big rolls. If you have the reflet. on hand and the design is simple enough you can make a few bucks on the job but not much. If the other guy dident show tell them you can do it but it will cost a little more on the first car because of the time it will take to set up the graphics in your computer. Do they have on disk? or will you have to do the whole job from scratch? Time is money.

David, hope I'm not too late for my reply. I just placed a bid on a 2002 Chevy Impala squad car. Here's how my proposal worked out:
Two color with POLICE and name of town on door, the dial 911 blaa, blaa on rear quarters, Radio call sign on deck lid and 2 not really fancy stripes all around.......
$365.00 Add $125.00 to Upgrade to reflective.
Any less.... let the other guy have it!

Mark- Was your bid for something like 50+ cars?

Brian,
This township has ONE car only!! Not quite what you'd call a fleet!!! I'm gonna try to post a photo of the last one I did. Not at all fancy, but the customer sure liked it!!
Mark

Mark, See Barbs post in the portfolio section to help you post that pic.
I agree with Brian, for 1 car your quote seems a few hundred dollars too low to me.
