Hub Cap Painting Stencil
« on: April 15, 2016, 22:10:29 »
Has anyone used the hubcap stencil for sale from Vintage Euro Parts (Babak)?

Is it better to tape off and paint? 
I read that there is a sl113 group stencil that gets passed around---anyone have info?

I need advice

It is better to mask and tape in my opinion after doing 3 sets of Mercedes caps.

I agree to tape and paint.  I did 3 sets in the last year and I like the crisp lines.  But others will tell you that it is too perfect.
