Default Raymond....How about this....

WHY put ANY paint on the car at all?

Why can't you paint a message or price on a piece of Form-Fitting Foam Board that will fit INSIDE the windshield...sitting on the dash?

People will still be able to see the sign and/or Price BUT...they won't have to be concerned about or have to remove PAINT from the suface of the windshield or windscreen.

Have Templates made...like those used painting addresses on CURBS.

When the car needs to go for a test-drive or is sold...just remove the board from the INSIDE of the car!

There are "window-sticker" people who make up window-stickers stating what's on thevehicle and the price. These are then placed INSIDE the rear, drivers side window. These folks get $8 a car....and have been operating for a long time. The guy in my area has crews that cover many lots and seems to be very lucrative.

OR....create a SIGN BOARD that hooks onto the rain gutters and sits ON TOP of a vehicle. Place the slogan or price on BOTH SIDES!

Just a little "food-for-thought".

When the internet first started to "heat up" about 1997...I helped a guy create a biz where he would go to car lots and take photos of cars and place them on his website for 90 days AND do a LOT of local advertising for the site. He was charging as I remember, $15 a car, including the write-up and uploading. He had a "route" where he'd visit each lot, once a week. Had enough lots so he was taking 40 to 50 photos a DAY. Don't know if this woud go now or not. You'd probably have to charge around $5 or $7 per car BUT...ya never knows unless ya try.
