Vladimir,
Very nice... I really like how the boarder flows into the thin frame giving it more weight. Looks like this could be a companion piece to the drawings you posted earlier.
Art is a common Language and I enjoy seeing your work... thanks for sharing.

Kafka has a set of liner/scrollers that work well. Still have some old Mack daggers for pulling lines as well.
Kafka has some YouTube flicks up if you care to have a look.

For glass work you want loose leaf gold. If I was to purchase a kit it be this one http://www.stonehouses.co.uk/product_desc.php?id=4389

Re: Gold Leaf Starter Kit :mrgreen:
Kent's Book is a good the place to start from.
A stainless steel camping cup makes a good container for making water size in. Also you'll need a gilders tip to apply leaf to glass. If you can find some Bon Ami powder in the yellow or red can not the gold foil one, grab it. Some quality cotton.

Re: Help needed with pricing hand lettered signs and trucks.
Your question is hard for anyone to really answer to many factors to weigh. I'd say, sell your Quality not cost... that would be my advice. Find out what they have in mind for a budget and see if you can offer something that fits it.
