First off I would like to say this is not my idea. It belongs to Al Rabe.  I will post the photo's and then the explanations.

Had seen the finished product before but not the process.  Thanks for the how-to-do.

This is the method Pat Johnston uses (stolen from Al Rabe). But he uses a chromate green background with black

Looks good, Robert

On all but one plane that I have its dope. I cut the stencil off the plane and trace around it then tape off. The shape is the same a the wheel door.
