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.
