I live 1/2 mile away from a busy truck stop. I always zip through the lot to see if there are any neat lettering jobs. There is at least one neat lettering job amongst the 100 or so trucks, but this job blew me away.
I just wanted to share. Check out the amount of SIGNGOLD on this trailer....its staggers my imagination!

O my... Glad that Im not paying the bill for that Sign Gold!!! They did a pretty good job of lining all the swirls up it looks like.. I take it as that those letters are larger than the normal stock width (24"), or do you think that they specail ordered a bigger size....
Thanks for sharin

The Signgold is paneled (and overlapped a 1/4" in horizontal pieces. SIGNGOLD's name is on the back of the trailer....they probably donated the gold, but thats a guess.
The paint is very smooth to touch. There is a clear coat over the paint job, which is probably the automotive paint that is advertised.
This racing team is "Richie The Kid"...never heard of him, but there was a web address on the truck.

That guy is from New Orleans, I remember seeing several of their cars at a show several years ago, they all were first class...I think the family own a paint and body shop...whomever did it should be proud of it.

I guess I'm just old and it's a sign of the times but a digital print of the HOK scarab? The impressive part of this job to me is the fact that it's clear coated. Clearing a semi is a feat in itself, the trailer, now there's a real challange.
