Basecoat has dried so I move on the the webbing effect. Very easy to replicate. Took around 5 minutes to setup and complete. Key there is not to spend too much time as we are not looking for any pattern or uniformity here. complete randomness is the key !








Prep for RED stencil. First thing to do is identify which stencil is which color, and where it belongs on the cabinet. I ALWAYS look for a common line in the artwork, something that "governs" the rest of the stencils. If this is not right, then it won't work out. The front panel has a horizontal red line. There are two triangles in the corners. so these need to be of equal distance relative to the centre and sides. So measure the front cabinet, half it and make a mark at the top and bottom. Do the same with the RED stencil. ine them up and measure the distance between the bottom of the cabinet and the start of the RED horizontal line. This is a crucial step. Note the overlap on the sides of the stencil..








The overlap, or "overhang" of the RED stencil comes in VERY handy for aligning the RED sides. There's a horizontal line here as well. This must meet the front horizontal line as seen in the picture below








Sides done and ready to paint








Remove the side stencil
