Special thanks to Charlie for hooking Metzger Brand up with a Van Wrap!

2008-06-01T23:23:00.000-07:00

We want to extend a special Thanks to Charlie from CJ Signs for hooking Metzger Brand up with nice van wrap.

Charlie is fresh out of high school and to top it off, he lives in Peoria Illinois, which made getting the van wrapped slightly challenging. Here's how it went down. We prepped the artwork here, sent it to Charlie, he printed the panels and hopped on a plane, arrived on Thursday and begun wrapping the van. After many hours and little sleep, Charlie came through and had the van done Saturday afternoon just in time for the Dirt Alliance Dirt Tour.

Check out Charlie and Metzger Brand CFO, Brandon Roberts straight pimpin in front of the van at the Dirt Alliance Dirt Tour.
