Author Topic: Who Paints Drive Inn Screens? Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-08-2007 03:23 PM                     Need a contact that paints Drive Inn screens. Preferably located in the mountain states but from other areas also ok. Thanks!

Took all day long to do it, and the rented orange lift was almost white by the time I was done. Can they not paint it themselves??  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-08-2007 05:23 PM                     Phil, I called Karen and she last had her's painted 8 years ago by Carl Harvey from Oregon. Tried his numbers but to no avail. and she thinks he may have retired by now. The customer is too old to do the painting himself... anyone want to come do it?

His son painted the drive in screen up there. Also, he is a "professional" painter.  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-10-2007 01:45 PM                       Mark, it's Drive-IN, not Drive INN.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-10-2007 04:43 PM                     If it is a rural area get a company that paints the exteriors of barns They haved the lifts for it  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-10-2007 06:56 PM                     Tim, I been waitin ta see if ya knowticed that..... if its In its Inn!

Great screen advertising idea. Then as it gets dark . . . . KEN  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Ads could indeed actually be presented and cycled through back and forth and with a push of a botton the screen would go all white. Perhaps I should patent this...... . At least you can say you read about it on Film-Tech! Mark  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

I'd hate to see the wind loading on such a beast though. Picking sheet metal off of the hoods of cars is bad enough.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-11-2007 04:23 PM                     We have some billboards that use triangular strip technology to cycle between three different messages. Probably already patented. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged
