That looks the nuts, mate!! Like it a lot. Lovely van. Jealous of them wheels. I need bigger wheels as my wheel arches are ridiculously big for the standard wheel it came with, but £££

Cheers bud. Got one side left to do but needed a break as it is slow work keeping the bubbles out. The blue stripe isn't perfect if your within a foot of it, but other than that pretty good. Probably shouldn't mention that (after a spoiler) I want to swap out those 17's for some 20's when I can afford it haha, but the thing is they came with michelins on that'll do 80k so may aswell get some use out of them first :thumbsup:

 
Cheers dude! Kept it nice, neat and simple.. Hopefully not too simple /emoticons/wink.png Maybe now someone will see it when I'm working and either look me up or jot down my number, I could certainly do with the extra customers :thumbsup:

Get a plastic business card dispenser for the back of the van for passing interest

 
Will do a business card holder if I can find a magnetic one, not going to risk damaging the paintwork on my baby /emoticons/tongue.png

 
Incase anyone fancied seeing inside the van here it is :D It should have a 400ltr tank in but after waiting over two weeks I was finally told the supplier wasn't sending it :mad: Still will have a new 400ltr tank instead of that 150ltr, the hose reel will be moved to the back, the ladder out (and put inside on the floor on days when needed) and my poles and extensions put back up on the side and tidy the floor and will all be done and dusted... I won't know what to do with myself, I might have to actually go and do some work! :rofl:

Tell u wot, I wear my own company name on my t-shirts. Just says Clearview, but whilst ordering some gear from WCWarehouse I bought one of their t-shirts with their name on it which says it all in their name, and I picked up a job whilst queueing up in HSBC to do my banking!! The lady behind me said "oh, you're a window cleaner can u quote my house?!" It was in a very affluent area too. I was stunned! First time ever. Now I'm just gonna wear them ones [emoji1][emoji106]

Thought I would order one after hearing that, shame they only do them in midget sizes....

 
Cheers guys. Nah I made it all myself. Van curves in every way possible so took a while to fit it (aaaages lol) and then paint it. Flooring and sides (basically almost all the black paint) is protectakote. Two toned the paintwork to both match my company colours and make it easier to see inside the compartment.

That's funny you got a quote from being in a queue. It would of been funny if you turned around and said "no what made you think that, I'm a pilot" /emoticons/biggrin.png Branded uniform is also on my list (to order later infact), not for advertising, just to be neat and have seperate work and play clothes /emoticons/smile.png

 
Very nice @MrBump , you have learnt well from the master :rofl:

And really well done for the sign writing mate, great job! Inside is looking very nice and neat - you know I like a neat van;):cool::thumbsup::h:

 
Cheers mate. Van floor is usually tidier than that, I just launch my pole and hole in the back now between jobs haha. Also photos don't show it but thats only half or slightly less than half of my wfp brushes (I'm a bit brush obssessed!) and at the back by the back doors is my trad gear on hooks and some other gear. Signwriting looks ok from a distance, well all of the text is great, quite happy with it as in person looks smart enough, but the fatter blue lines however are quite 'bumpy' if you are close to them, but if anyone gets close to it i'll just spray them with my hose! /emoticons/biggrin.png

 
Van looks sweet bump. My only criticism is no one will be able to tell you do window cleaning, but its hard where you do more than one service. Mines the same just says car valeting & pressure washing with no mention of windows.

 
Thanks Green, assuming that last sentence was aimed at me /emoticons/biggrin.png

Cheers adamangler. On the back it will say window cleaning and carpentry, once some slight scuff marks have been touched up. I am swaying towards getting rid of the property services and replacing with window cleaning, most carpentry is through word of mouth anyway, just felt it might be wierd turning up and getting my woodworking tools out of a van with windows written all over it. Who knows, might even focus on windows next year anyway and make furniture in my own time, although thats just a dream for now. Are you going to add window cleaning to your van? The only time I can imagine someone taking down your number is when you parked up outside a customers house and they can see you working...
