|  Using Transfer Stickers as Masking
I'm looking for a easy way out for a guy with no talent to get something more interesting out of his paint job. I found a web site that has tons of transfer type window stickers that I'm thinking would work perfect as a cheap and easy mask to do a simple two color paint job.  Hmmm, linking it makes it look all fugly, but I think you get the idea. What I really want is the silhouette of the female angel and demon. http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/7593/goodbadqc4.jpg Image might be NSFW! That silhouette is about the perfect size for the body I want to use but I don't know how to make a sticker out of just printing out that image. Do I just cut it out and glue it to the lexan body with some cheap childs glue? Or, do I transfer it to a some kind of sheet of masking film to make my own transfer? Like I said and as you can tell, I'm an idiot with this type of thing. Pointers? |

Cool. I love "easy" almost as much as I love "free".  |

I have a plotter and can cut decals if you need. I also have paint mask vinyl (about 50 yards of it), so I can do either exterior or masks...
