Make the stencil. I use my wife's Cricut machine so limitations only by using that. Cannot always get exactly what you want but with the software from the machine and online files, options are huge.
The process is as follows:
1) Make the stencil
2) For this rocket, I primed then sprayed the white you see.
3) Apply the stencil (in this case the inside of the stencil not the outer part. I call it a "reverse stencil".
4) With the stencil in place over the white, spray your principle color. Here, the fluorescent orange.
5) Remove the stencil before your main color (again the orange) gets a chance to start drying. I usually remove it immediately.
6) Clear coat the entire rocket after paint has dried depending on the paint manufacturers recommendations. I used Rustoleum Fluorescent and white. They recommended allowing the fluorescent 24 hours drying time before clear coating.
