sign writing

Post by macky »

Has anyone had their pcx signwriten I run a small company and was thinking about it But I think it might be to much on a scooter I tried searching on line but could find nothing . my company colours are brown and beige/yellow so I might just get a bit of yellow wrapping instead making the scooter two tone

signwriting refers to hand language for the deaf, probably why you can't find what you are looking for on the net. Did you mean custom vehicle vinyl wrap?

American English is very different isn't it yes a vinyl wrap but with my company's log contact detail on it over here we call it signwriting

I've seen very little custom wrap on PCX or Forza during my time as an owner, on youtube or pictured in this forum. If its white you can do almost any additional color scheme for your viewing pleasure with decal. You can even change the entire color with replacement plastic for little money as a US citizen but you need skill to make the swap. If you handed it over to a custom wrap shop I bet they could do wonders as seen on YT with carbon wrap but pricey for sure.

I don't know much about signing/wrapping. Is it easily removed if you don't like it? If so, then maybe the only question is cost. If it isn't too expensive, I would say go for it. If you don't like it, you can always remove it. The good thing about the PCX is that the panels can be removed to sign/wrap them, which may make the job easier.

You're just yankin away on his chain aintcha? Signing isn't the same as sign writing (I sign a little due to hearing loss and working with people who are deaf, and I've never seen it refered to as "signwriting"). Silly Homie. :D

Macky,

A custom sign written bike would be cool, but cheaper would be a vinyl sticker. That should be very easy.

Just a quick search found a sign writer in Midhurst, West Sussex and one in Rochester, Kent

Seymour signs in Plymouth might be able to send you something?

He can call it whatever he wants. I've personally never seen it referred to as such.
