Sometimes trucks have to be lettered on the weekend because they are needed during the week, like this one. The good news, though, was a nice flat smooth surface, no rivets to go over.

I agree, very nice Joe! Thanks for sharing it with us.
The grey in the "D", is that just slightly smaller than the inside of the "D", or is it the shape of the entire D, with the "D" being laid on the grey?

Gotcha, thanks. I thought you said once before that's how you do overlaps, but I wasn't sure if you took it all the way out to the edge of the letter or just inside it a little. Now I know!
Thanks-

Is that company in Seattle? I think I saw a magazine article about them.

They are actually in Woodinville, 20 miles or so east of Seattle, though many national magazines will call that Seattle.
