Vinyl sticker, need help/guidance

hi all,
i`m looking to start a business making and selling vinyl stickers for cars and catering to my local small businesses.
i`ve been searching high and low for guides or `how-to` choose my equipment and the process of making those stickers. thus far my search is unsuccessful.
i`ve found plotters ranging from $300 all the way to $5000. though i`m sure i won`t need the $5k machine, which machine in the lower $300 can i use?
has anyone done or doing this business who can help me?

As bad as it sounds, go to a place that makes some, buy a very few and find out what machine they are using. then, you know the quality of it and can research the price of it.
Also, I live in a beach town, and boating is huge. Vinyl letters are a big market as they usually only last 8 years and everyone likes to name their boats.
Sorry, I can`t help you there, but I do have a few ideas for you.

very interesting, i haven`t even thought of that yet. unfortunately i don`t know anything about boats or the sizes of the names. i wanted to start out small with stickers for the gas cover and windows on cars first to gain experience before taking on a big boat job.
there`s a couple of chains around here, not too many, i doubt they will let me go there and look at it. plus i`m sure they have industrial size machines, i`ve seen some and they`re HUGE. wouldn`t be a good starter for me.
thanks though, still looking around.
I also thought the boat idea was good.
Its something I might consider buying in the future, if we are going to be ripped off from price gouging oil companies then we might as well be promoting our own products & services.
Good luck/skill
