Custom Spray paint stencils

[TinySeal]

Does anybody use or would use custom or regular camo stencils to spray there airsoft weapons ?

I probably wouldn't, because if I was going to paint my gun in a camoflauge pattern, I'd probably collect leaves and such to use as stencils (for woodland at least)

I imagine some guys would though

The digital ones would be useful.

Just try doing Flecktarn without them!

That's a good point actually.

They would be handy.

Out of curiosity would you pay for a sticky vinyl stencil kit that included said stencils if it was reasonably priced ?

Id be interested in the cammo stencils. Would make it easier for me anyway. Im useless with an airbrush

Would appreciate it very much if you all could give your very honest opinions as to whether or not you would use them if they where available at reasonable cost , also custom designs as well ?

I'm just trying to find where I got mine from so you can compare prices.

 

[Hangtight]

Found it.

www.entina.es

Although they are in Spain the service was pretty prompt. Good quality material and cutting. Should give you something to go on.

how reusable?

how reusable?

Not at all.

Vinyl paint mask stretches when you pull it off.

There might be a market for stencils in a tougher, non contact form that you could reuse. Some camo patterns look good with softer edges. And it's a damn sight quicker than laying down vinyl, especially if you're using female masks and you have to mask all the gaps.

Will be finding out tomorrow but and it's a big but a couple of times I think .

Smaller ones should be ok and depends on the thickness of the vinyl as well .

these guys in the US sell these types of stencils $24 for pistols and $50 for rifles montactical.com



I brought 2no A4sheets from ebay for around £2, and just copy and paste an image then print/ cut out ( cheap as chips). Looked into a laser cutter scanner/ printer range from £100 - £350.

That's where I've got the idea from, from montactical he does some great stuff most of the laser cutters I've seen though are kinda not very good up until the £1000 mark as I was looking into getting one for custom images on various objects including full metal RIFs .

Not sure how often you've used paint mask vinyl but speaking as a custom painter, they're not really all that re-usable. If it sticks well enough to mask properly you end up screwing the edge up trying to lift it. That's why most painters cut new masks each time.
