I have a graphic designer and there is a print shop near me. What exactly would I be asking them as far as getting a marquee made what material should it be printed on? Obviously Id have to get two pieces of plexi glass cut afterwards.


Also down the road I might have them print side art depending on my funds..same question pretty much what material should I inquire about?? Im painting my cab with latex paint btw.


thanks everyone cant wait to finish this thing.
