Who has purchased quality truck signs and where? Unfortunately, we must replace the ones that we just purchased this year, because they're junk. Not looking to make that mistake again! Thanks friends!

I've had magnetic signs in the past. Some of the important points for me are, in no particular order...

Have the background painted the color of your vehicle.

Hand painted lettering causes less wind drag than vinyl stick-ons and can be touched up.

The corners should be rounded and the edges beveled.

This is all custom work of course but there are still some old time sign makers around. They generally do a better job than the mail order variety.

The best prices seemed to be at 123 print last time I ordered in 2012, but if I were to order today I would use Vista Print. I have ordered several times from them and they stand behind their products and are of good quality.

JMO - My experience with magnetic signs from Vistaprint was not very good. They are very thin and holding ability was poor. I lost four signs in a short period of time. Having them made locally with heavier magnetic sheets would be worth the small additional cost.

Wow, good info. And you do know that the signs and the paint beneath them should be washed frequently, right?

Thanks for all the info! We have ordered products from Vista Print, but the reviews on their own website were not very good, for the magnetic signs. The vihicle is not a dedicated work truck, so we didn't want to decorate it just yet.

Dave, asking on behalf of all the employees of Advanced Wildlife Control, what is this word "washed" that you speak of?

a purely theoretical concept circulated by the auto industry...
