Chalig Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 hey i was wondering if i printed my logo for the headstock off from the computer on normal paper, had it laminated and then cut it out as a stencil would it work well if i used a rattle can of spray paint over it and the clear coats??? Thanks, Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-j-c Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 You'd be better off printing it direct to acetate paper...the clear stuff used for over head projectors.. Pinting it to paper then laminating it will give a stencil three thicknesses as opposed to one...which will take a lot of laquer to blend in..

i-j-c Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Just read it again...do you mean a stencil..so you would paint through the words or logo you are printing then laquering it..? If so, the same applies above..just as easy and saves you laminating it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalig Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 so if i used the stuff for overhead the spraypaint wouldnt bleed?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-j-c Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 You would still have the same problem with laminate - even more so because it's shiny. The over head stuff would cut neater and give a nice line imo! Use double sided sticky if required...or some pritt stick...to keep it down. As an idea..go to a hadware store...look at the stencils on offer for painting on walls...you will see they are very similar to overhead paper.. Just go light with the rattle can...better making lighter coats - which dry quicker and are less prone to bleeding under the stencil..
