alot of people have been asking me how to make home made stencil/thin caps. heres how... [Broken External Image]:http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8105/stencilcapdm1.jpg 1= Get a regular cover off any krylon rusto etc. 2= you want the center part. Begin to cut off the excess plastic 3= Once you have center part by its self, its time to cut enough off to fit your finger in. i find using a bench grinder works fast. if you dont have access to a grinder, use an exacto. be carefull though the plastic cracks easy. 4= After you made the space for your finger, get a needle, thumb tack, pin etc. and heat it up with a lighter till it gets red hot. Then make a hole in the middle and move it around in a lil circle once or twice. Dont make the hole too high or too low ,if you do no paint will go through. 5= Put it ontop of the can to make sure it fits good, if you grinded (cut) too much from the center part the cap will fit too lose and not stay on. 6= When using the stencil/thin cap make sure to tilt the can upside down and flick the paint out, due to the small about of paint exiting the hole it will build up in the can and leak out and that will make a fucking mess and/or paint will spill onto your piece. 7= As you can see, you can get Really thin lines (i didnt shake the can up enough so the paint isnt opaque as it would normally be but you get the point) -Hepos
Yeah I do 'til it's red still bends than like roots the cap up.. Maybe it's the tack it was an old one that sat in the sun.
youve seen this one already? i just took the pics 3 hours ago haha :lol: _ and you dont get how to press the cap? i turn'd the the stencil 'center' around to show that paint builds up. make sure the cap is pointing to the hole.....
Nah man, i have seen a pic of those types of "caps" i know the concept.. i edited my post because i dident see the little holes on the other side of the cap.. :lol: anyways.. id rather do cutbaks..dey fun haha
:lol: a lot less than cutting your line too muchs, then do it again, then chut it a bit too much, then paint again then get it just right that's one sick idea you got there hepos... god i hate you :lol: that definitely could have been posted into the how 2 thread, but this thread is a pile of shit, and we're the only ones to blame for that! so, cool tutorial! now go clean up the how 2 thread and post it into that one (im gonna delete a few shit post there if we all delete a few it should be more tutorials and less post whoring)
if you think like that... then shouldnt the White Highlights topic go into the Markers topic.. along with the OTR topic?
i tried to make one of these the other day but i was trying to doit with the outer shell part not the small middle incert ill try it again thanks for the tutorial
