Ha. I like that.

 

[CycleJay]

Good,

I got that idea from someone else on here..
It was not my idea..

I just like the idea, and thought it would be funny to do.

Indeed ... maybe even put a light coating over it to make it look 'redacted', but still visable.

Go to menards and buy a set of stencils in the aisle by the signs!

It's a superior version of Home Depot or Lowe's. Only us fortunate Yankees have them.

 

[CycleJay]

Ok, no worries. I guess I will have to go to Lowe's.. I do not like home depot..

CJ

Thanks

You can get official military style brass stencils on ebay. They are very durable and cool as ship. They slide together for proper spacing. I have 2 sets somewhere that my ex-brother in law gave me when he was in the Navy about 30 years ago. He probably stole em off the ship. USS Simon Lake if any one wants to rat him out. I just searched ebay for "brass military stencils" and found all different sizes. WAY COOL.

What size do you want? I can do 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, and 1 3/4 on machine and 2, 3 and 4 by hand. Pay for paper, a couple of bucks, and make a donation to SS and it's yours.

Sorry i forgot there only in the North, Its a Big box store like home depot but sell's less quality items! Dale Jr used to drive there stock car! I thought you southern boys would know what Menards was from Jr driving their car a couple years ago!!!

If you can show me a pic of what you want and give me height, width etc I can cut you a masking vinyl Stencil. And there pretty cheap.

Look at my photo albums under big dogs. The letters on the red fuel tank were done in masking vinyl

Hi Guys,

What size should I use? I would like it to be seen by other vehicles, look military,
and not be too big or too small, and of course properly spaced.

Thanks,

CJ

2'' is what I would do big enough to see but still discreet.

cucv1833,

Okay, then 2" it is, thank you for the suggestion..
That is what I want, I want it big enough to see, but small enough to be obnoxious.

Thanks, Good day,

CJ

Its up to you what size. I bought military brass stencils but most hobby shops with have paper stencils real cheap so you can try different sizes. Heres a pic of my truck with 2" registration #'s for a reference

Cucv1833,

Hi Guys,

This is the font I would like to use for a stencil.

and 2" or 3" would be fine.

I will try to find it locally, and let you guys know what happens.

If I cannot find it, I may take up the offer from one of you on here to do it.

By the way, when it comes to brass stencils, when you use them,
do you spray the paint thru the brass stencils, or use the brass stencils
to cut out paper stencils, then spray paint thru the paper stencils?


Thank you,

 

[tdfontaine]

The brass stencils interlock together. Then you just spray thru the stencils. I suppose you could use the brass stencils to cut out paper stencils but that's not necessary.
