Default 2 Cents and more.....

> Thanks for your 2 cents.

You're welcome.

> 1). How did you get started in the business?

It's wrong to say that anyone with no training or skill can start making money painting signs on car windscreens. It takes time and effort to master controlling the tools you need to execute the work. I spent 5 years in a sign shop before I had the skills necessary.

Maybe with the right guidance someone could master the basic skills to do just car screens, but I doubt that a basic tutorial could provide what's required. What's funny is that I bought a so called 'Make money doing.....' for car screens and there is no way from that video tape could a novice master the skills, in fact the person featured on the tape had many years in the field.

Correct, but like I said, only half the screen, passenger side.

If you think that buying some paint and a roller/sponge is going to make you $300 for 3 hours work.....I say good luck! From my experience, you must have some basic skills perfected through time and practice. You can't just buy an instruction sheet and off you go, putting signs on car screens uses the same skills that traditional signwriters/signpainters have acquired often through years of training.

Yes you can make serious money from signs whether they're on car screens or where ever, but like all the graphic arts, it's a skill that requires a certain level of training.
