Assuming that's a day glow green, it will certainly be seen and therefor remembered.  I remember dealing with a company that used pink paper.  I thought this odd at first, but you could always find there paperwork in any bundle!

It would stand out alright, but I don't think a bright green truck would be viewed in the sort of way you'd want it too.  Could come across as cheap and tacky, untrustworthy, cavalier.  I'd be more inclined to work with safe colours but you could always come up with a striking design - large squares or circles / whatever.

I did worry about that but who I used to work for had a fleet of bright blue vans and they stood out, was also thinking of dynarod they stand out, to be fair the actual colour maybe isn't that bad just that's the closest I could get on paint!
Tbh I've not sold the x5 yet, been offered a sway for a purple transit st sport van or a black nissan navara crew cab with van back on, but tbh didn't want something that expensive or can the cost be recouped through tax?  I'm not into that side of things but my mother does accounts for a lot of people just havnt spoke to her yet!

Just be Carefull with luminous coloured vehicles, over a time they tend to fade and go patchy, look at an old Dynorod van, they fade, the vinyl wrap is guaranteed for 3,5 or 7 years depending on the quality, however, as soon as its printed on, the warranty is void!

My vans are all silver, we've gotten away from white, I hate white vans, sorry! lol

Arrrrhhhhh - you spoilt it! I was waiting for him to sing!

But you're right, it's not them. What a waste of server space.
