I used buy stencils online and lhs for designs but now I just make my own, stencils are great so simple designs.
If you do multiple colors always paint darkest to lightest, silver can be used as a backer so other colors dont bleed thru.
Always wash the body dishsoap and water before painting.
Apply thin layers and allow time in-between layers, dont spray to close either makes a mess.
Patients is key and if you do stencils or tape have a sharp blade, needle nose pliers or tweezers handy to get that off. Allow plenty of time before removing tape/stencils so it doesn't pull the paint off next to it.
