Although I am not looking to do business here--I was merely adding my 
opinion to the group on my area of expertise--I would consider cutting 
stickers for people (after Jim C. approves the design, etc.

As for durablility...Vinyl will last anywhere from 3-5 years on a car. 
Vinyl comes in two types (basically). Cast and Calandered. Cast is 
usually refered to as "high performance" vinyl and is 2 mil.  Calendared 
is "regular" vinyl and is 5mil.  A few years ago, the industry claimed 
that cal vinyl would last 3 years outdoors, cast = 5-7 years.. Now, both 
will last up to 7 years on a "car' or other PROPORLEY treated surface.  
Cal is half the price...so I do all my decals, etc in Cal. unless cast 
is specified.  
Of course, like anything, it is suseptable to scratching, etc.  If it is 
treated as well as your paint or glass (cleaned regularly), it will stay 
there longer than you want it to, most likely.
Durability is not really an issue these days..The most important part is 
the ap[plication.  As long as the surface is properly prepared ansd the 
vinyl properly applied, it will last a long long time...

Drop a line if you have any questions.
