Gav,
You answered so many questions, that haven't even come into my head yet.  #(& (Blue, Grey, Yellow mask)
With my first 'traced' homemade Gottlieb stencils, even with endless hours double/triple checking, the final colour was off by a millimeter in places.  ^&^
It's taken 3-4 weekends work. Base, first, second colour down and then D'oh. Completely start again.  &^&
This machines artwork does not have any original over spray, so the tack level of the stencil was a worry, but you have put my mind at rest.

My 20+ year old 'SATA' spray gun won't let me down. I still don't understand why someone would spend hours++++ stripping down and prepping a cabinet and then apply a stencil with an aerosol can.  !!!

Following Nino's '8 Ball' tread, I'm thinking an automotive acrylic paint, but I can't make my mind up.  !@#
Cheers,

Paul.
