For 61 years Jim McMichael Signs and Truck Painting has been a trusted name in custom signage, vehicle painting, and body work across Knoxville and East Tennessee. Family owned and operated, we provide high-quality branding solutions including exterior and interior business signs, commercial vehicle wraps, fleet graphics, and full-service body shop repairs. What began as one man hand-lettering signs out of the back of his car has grown into a comprehensive sign, vehicle wrap, paint, and body shop known for craftsmanship, creativity, and decades of experience. We are a true one-stop shop for all your signage needs — from lighted signs and banners to sign repair, retail signs, custom graphics, body shop repairs, and much more.

Located in Knoxville, TN, we operate one of the largest body shops in the region, with over 14,000 square feet dedicated to collision repair and a state-of-the-art paint facility servicing tractors, trailers, motor homes, cars, and trucks for both fleets and individual customers. Known for top-quality signage and tractor-trailer body work for national clientele, we remain committed to using the latest technology and design innovations. Our signs, banners, vehicle wraps, truck lettering, and graphic designs are created in-house by a team of skilled designers and executed with meticulous detail. We ensure nothing leaves our shop without earning the Jim McMichael stamp of approval.

Celebrating 43 Years of Dedication – Darryl “Flash” Frazier!

On November 1, 2025, we’re proud to celebrate an incredible milestone. Darryl “Flash” Frazier’s 43rd anniversary with Jim McMichael Signs! Jim hired Flash back in 1982, when he was just 20 years old. He started out hand-lettering vehicles. He also helped Jim move to our new location in 1983, using his old 1974 truck. Since then, he’s become an absolute cornerstone of our shop, a true jack of all trades who can do just about anything. Flash is completely self-taught when it comes to vinyl installation and has a gift for teaching others. He’s the first to take new hires under his wing, showing them the ropes with patience, skill, and a sense of humor that makes every day better. He’s also our longest-tenured employee, with over four decades of dedication, craftsmanship, and leadership that continue to inspire everyone around him.  You’ll never meet a kinder or more genuine person and we’re beyond grateful for the 43 years he’s dedicated to helping make Jim McMichael Signs what it is today.
