[QUOTE="Nick Jones, post: 123348, member: 1222"] Here are some things I did/would do: -Have a partner maybe two -tilt it on its side; i did this because i have a groove that runs down the middle of the side and because of gravity -buy a bunch of latex or disposable gloves; -no matter how much you tape it, you will still have to use your hands to hold the stencil snug when it is going over any uneven surfaces. -second you need alot of them because your gloves and the stencils start to get sticky after a while. we found if we changed our gloves regularly they wouldnt stick to stencil like they did if your gloves had alot of paint on them. -Have some wax paper or something that is as vertically long as the stencil; why do you need it? you want to put about a 1/2 inch to 1 inch under the stencil on both sides because if you dont you will have two vertical over spray lines on both sides of the stencil; i just used the thin paper that the stencils were shipped in. -Remember! you cant really mess it up unless the paint runs or you have alot of paint under the stencil. dont worry if you get a little of the wrong color on the wrong part. it will give it contrast as long as you keep clean lines.
