I plan on using a roller to apply the base coat to the cab and making cardboard stencils . Have just been experimenting with a roller and cardboard on a piece of ply and find that I get bleed through around the edges of the patterns I've cut out.
If I use less paint the bleed through is less, but am really hoping to achieve some crispish outlines when I paint the artwork .. there are a number of circles to be done for example . Does this mean I will need to spray the 2nd and 3rd colours for best effect ?
If so, I will have to use a spray can cause I don't have access to a spray gun.
I suppose the problem with trying to use a roller to paint the artwork is you can't keep the stencil perfectly flat , hence the bleed through.
Also, when you paint the artwork , do you leave the stencil in place for 30 mins or so?
Appreciate any comments/suggestions about this .
Here's a pic of the cab art I need to recreate.
Thanks
