• What is best material to cut a stencil from? Frisket film or vinyl, will be cutting with scalpel if that makes a difference.
    Also plan is to just sponge on a gold/green flip pigment and then clear laquer on top from rattle can, any laquer will do? Or 2k for durability?

    Cheers

  • Ey up.

    CNC blade or laser plotter cut graphics will always give you a sharper, more consistent and quite importantly repeatable edge so you can fix your mistake!
    DM me if you want me to put together some stencils or masks for you.

    Flip paint off a sponge is a guaranteed fail - don't do it.
    You need to lay a clean black base first and then for the chromatic product to do it's job properly it needs to lay down with some level of consistency in the coverage and a sponge won't give you that.

    A rattle can clear is fine for a DIY finish.
    Buy a few cans of the same brand that provide the basecoats you use - they will be from the same chemical family so they will bond well.
