so i got the great idea last night to camo stencil my boat. well, it appears that my faded green boat is now faded green, smeared bark, and fuzzy grass. still debating on whether i like it better like this or with the ugly faded paint. so how the hell are you supposed to keep the stencil flat on the sides when you have the 'crease' from front to back? I dunno, ill prolly just leave it like this till next year

your right you do suck but it will do the job. all you want is for your outline to be broken up and that will work. btw im just messin with ya, its not that bad

Don't lie it sucks.

Maybe if you tried harder it would look better.

yep it sucks but the stuff under the tires came out good lol

Its really not that bad man.

Yep, ya paint like "him" too.

Not that bad for your first time...ive seen alot worse.

holy shat .. look at that grab bar .. looks fat guy friendly!

man id let u do mine lol better than i would do im not a painter

Its not bad. But, when I did my boat, I made a cardboard frame for my stencils. About 2 inches around the stencil helped me make the bend around the crimp.

That LT is pimp tight with that Custom Air Cleaner......

i did mine drinking with no stencil
i kinda felt like picasso until the next morning win i looked at itmy boat.JPG

Now that you gots yore boathull painted and lookin' good ......

Start the repairs on the barn .......

If you did a search here on the MMT you could have found all sorts of usefull tips that would have helped with your end results,just saying.

dw, i looked all over and couldnt really find any tips on how to do it correctly. i dunno, im also not very good at the search feature

i'd add more hot pink.. those bright color like lime green, or silver really work good in the marsh! TRUST ME!

deadbird8 is the "man" when it comes to camo stencils,Poker is not bad either. Check them out.

Jus10 #2, I would take a small brush and flat black paint and put twigs an limbs over that grass in places.

use stencil adhesive. can be found at a craft store. you just mist the back of the stencil. works good just dont use too much.

Just go back and add another layer or two of accent colors....

Needs more depth...

Just a tip though - balancing the artist's alchol content at the time
is the real key - too little, no creativity - too much, paint everywhere - LOL

I used the same stencils on my old boat, what I did was remove the motor, took the boat off the trailer, and flipped it over. Then I taped the stencil to the bottom edge of boat, pressed it down to the crimp sprayed, then press on the other side of the crimp, and spray. After about three or four times stop and let the paint on the stencil dry, the start again this prevents the excess paint from smearing on the boat. The paint will build up on the stencil so thick that you will have to stop and crack it and remove from stencil. It's a lot of work but wanted it to look good.

P.S. It's not that bad to go through all the trouble with duck season here, but I would paint the inside it is much easier than the sides.

[what type of stencil adhesive

should have called i would have given you some camowrap

I find the way I do it is better than stencils. I use real leaves.

Looks good from my house

Oh and x2 on deadbird and his painting skills

I used a light coat of 3M general purpose adheasive on the back- same concept as what Med posted above with the stencil adheasive. Only on the top layer though to make it crisp, the other layers I used a bent clothes hanger and spray whats flat against the boat.

any of you guys used the nat gear stencil on yalls hulls?
