for the stars, number for the stencils,,, jc

Rick Larson suggest NAPA flat white which was Martin Sernior. However most NAPA stores have switched to Duplicolor which I have found to be fine. Be carefull to get a full paint job and pull the stencil while tacky. I have now done about 10 vehicles. Tom @ Snake River

Vette, I've come to use White Primer paint on my stencils and stars for a couple of reasons. It's not brilliant white but a bit on the aged shade of white as I like it that way. It's just as flat. In fact, it doesn't take that much of an application to get the good antique look you might want. I've found the best material to manufacture your stecils out of is simpe white shelf lining material. If you have the capability ou can print your stencil info through a printer or trace your stencils onto it. Cut out the images as you wish with an Xacto type knife. It has a 'light tack' adhesive backing that adheres just fine and can be relocated without much risk. They're a one-time use as the paint will distort its' shape as it peels off. Hope this helps.

Guys:

A good material to use to make stencils or any other type artwork can be purchased at an art supply shop. It's called "FRISKET PAPER". It can be used many times and is a translucent white so you can trace whatever on to very easy, and is easy to cut (it's like wax paper without the wax). It also has a tacky backing.
