Clearly the bulk of the comments were from guys hoping for something that didn’t require both of their brain cells to work simultaneously. This is an excellent video, and the tip about the border is great! I haven’t visited your website but will after this comment. My project involves some larger blinds so I was looking for technique which you demonstrated very well. I anticipate using an electric paint sprayer on very fine setting. Your comment about lightly spraying reminded me about that. Great job and thank you for the information.
These are some good stencils i have a 5 assorted piece kit from Acid Tactical and they rock! I would really love to see a couple camo stencils like 3 times the size of the regular 14 inch. Idk maybe something like a 3ft by 3ft stencil and make it magnetized too. Now that would be the berries
Humans, animals and some detection devices in use by modern militaries will recognize patterns, so randomness in camouflage is very important. I make sketches of foliage as it appears naturally and viewed from differing angles and distances (including aerial views). I then hand-cut my own stencils. I start painting with a light colored primer and use lighter colors first and then darker shades. I find it easier to darken a light area than lightening a darkened spot. I use the smallest patterns first and then graduate to the largest to produce an illusion of depth. Don't use black for camouflage. Black does not occur naturally and alerts animals ( and machines) that are sensitive to infra-red light. Substitute a very dark brown for black. Cutting stencils are easily done and I now have hundreds of them for use.
because that would be dumb? you would have to make them larger( more expensive, harder toship etc) or make the interior camo pattern smaller.. which is a huge negative.
I see people complaining you can't buy the stencils! Come on how difficult is it to grab some plastic, trace out a pattern, and then cut it out using an exacto knife ?? I mean it is almost impossible to go wrong and it's not like you're cutting out a delicate facial stencil that needs to look like whoever the person that it is. I hear u asking but how? Well, you simply tape a layer of plastic over your screen, enlarge the pattern to the required size, and trace out each colored layer using a Sharpie or permanent marker on plastic sheets in this case he used 2 sheets, and the base color, this will depend on the number of colors used in a pattern, in the video it was a basic pattern but other patterns can require many more layers to complete the effect.I also think the darker green should have been the first stencil sprayed over the base color and then the lighter green because it looks too dark and doesn't seem to blend and takes away from the lighter colors underneath but then again it will depend on what look your after but it does make a difference in this case and the camo look is lost .
@@johndenver5029 Yes well in the video he put down the base color Then the lighter shade of green and then the darker shade of green my opinion it will look a lot better rIf you put down the base color the darker shade Of green and then the lighter shade of green,

Whats feathering meaning ? Fading gradually into eaxh other i presume but does that mean hit the stencil w one color or use the same stencil placement but fill it n w different colors?@NINJUTSUguy
disGRUNTld_0311 . any grown man who begins a comment in any forum, whether online or in person, with “ummm...” needs to rethink his persona and make some changes. That same person would benefit from using “like” as an interjection much, much less.
I bought the digital camo stickers and was looking for a video of their use. Apparently, nobody else can get them to stick either, which is why nobody has actually made a video with a finished paint job. I did manage to make them work on a pistol slide, because of the flat surfaces, but they where a complete waste of money when trying to use on an AR15. They just won't stick to anything that isn't completely flat, and even then you'll still have a few edges sticking up so that paint gets underneath. Very frustrating.
Well basicly you find some camo pattern that you like and trace out the shapes keeping each color on a seperate sheet then just cut out the shapes , so no real artistic talent is requiered at all !!!
becusae then you either have to make them larger( and more expensive) or make a smaller camo pattern.. whats with eveyone on this thread that cant think for themselves.

seriously, its like all they know how to do is complain.

Great.
So why don’t you make your stencils with larger borders to prevent overspray?

In my opinion you put down your base color then the darker green then the lighter green ?
You should Feather the Colours and not fill the entire stencil each time.
Could you elaborate ?@DKSorg

Good video, idk why everyone is so confused
I Just loved it
ummm... just make your stencils larger so we don't have to do extra work after paying for your product... even is it cost a little more... lol

Yep, ur right! Make stencils with bigger borders.

Would cut the stencils from masking tape manually, use a rubber pencil to stick em down and smooth them out, that'll sort your problem
Why are yall the only people selling camo stencils
Black Algae explain me How to do without that if you are not an « artist »
Well basicly you find some camo pattern that you like and trace out the shapes keeping each color on a seperate sheet then just cut out the shapes , so no real artistic talent is requiered at all !!!
It's a racket
Light over dark and as you change colors use less and less shape's
ROFL!! It's actually better to do the EXACT opposite of what you suggested!
so in other words instead of dipping you could have just sprayed it with stocking and it s done lol
why dont you just put a larger border on them? what a pain in the butt. and your logo is a blooody pain too.
becusae then you either have to make them larger( and more expensive) or make a smaller camo pattern.. whats with eveyone on this thread that cant think for themselves.
Or make your stencil with wider edges...
Stick on patterns are easier and a cleaner job
Agreed. We carry a lot of stick on patterns also. But for larger projects like boats, the spray through ones are more economical.
Ok I'll be ordering some. Thanks
they are not easier, its way more work to put them on and remove them. cleaner maybe
Don't forget to over lap just a hair.
Clearly doesn’t know how to use his own product. Hmmmmm. Horrible to watch.
also spray painting in a closed garage...
