Hi guys I've done a couple of shells recently with a few images or text using vinyl as templates, I'm having trouble when removing the vinyl it takes some of the paint with it and doesn't give a crisp line. I think it's just the height of the vinyl that is causing the problem as all the liquid mask lines/edges are nice and crisp.
What brand/type of vinyl do people use or is there a trick I'm missing.
I'm using Aslan S85 Stencil Film.
Cheers Dan

Wish I could help but my personal experience from Vinyl is that it always left a bit of glue residue (I wanted to use them for lights and grills).

I think most use OraMask 810? That do get on with it...

Yup...I use OraMask .. have to be kinda quick in taking it off once painted as it can become a little odd if using many layers of paint, golden rule is the classic rule, use lots of fine soft thin layers of paint and hair dryer in between rather then a thick coat and it should be fine.
