Vinyl Banner for Car?

[Buttery Ken]

Does anyone have any experience of this?

What I need is something large-ish printing/creating that I can fix to my car (without damaging the car) to display a graphic and a message of a few words. Think travelling somewhere with it rolled up in the boot, then parking up at the side of the road and attaching it to the car so that anyone passing by can clearly read it.

I'm ok with the copy and imagery (thanks Claude) but have no idea what to even search the Internet for to find a supplier!

As ever, I'm sure PH has someone in this industry that can advise.

Thank you

Depending on the size and how much you want to spend, I would suggest a magnetic sign.

Instaprint will do this, holes punched in corners so you can use bungee cord to attach

Thanks - I want it very visible so it would likely need to cover the whole side of the car. Cost I don't mind as long as it's not daft. I'll go and measure the size of the space available

That was my initial thought but I'm scared of the bungee cords scratching the car. Although I suppose I could put a sponge under the cord or something.

Two of these with the sign attached to the flag posts,

Keeps the sign off the car and held firmly by the wheels

I love that idea, thanks. I'm going to go with magnetic I think, as then I can drive to and from the location with them attached. And if I get asked to 'move on' then it's easier to drive away slightly but the message is still intact.

Big flappy thing on side of car. Magnets. Wind due to moving. Yeah should be fine......

50cm x 70cm so not really big and flappy, and I won't be going over 30mph.

I'm intrigued by the potential message:

Nigel for PM?

I'm think more along the lines of "This dealer is a crook" or "This marque is st" or the like!

Yes - fairly accurate.

How about a projector to beam it onto the side of their showroom?

Would allow multiple/longer/variable messages and could 'flash', or add a risque image in the slide show to garner more attention?

There is a company that do car covers that look like your car (you supply photos) then you could add graphics

Or get views on social media, seeing as it'll be done at night

Make sure the panels you want the magnets on aren't aluminium or plastic.
