The paint scheme for my Rearwin uses outlined stripes and N-numbers. I've found good info on the outlined stripes but nothing on the numbers. I've got a vinyl cutter so I can make whatever paint masks I need. Even Aerographics was no help. I assume at least 2 masks are needed with registration marks. I can think of a couple ways. Mask and paint the outline color and then mask over that to paint the number. Or the reverse... Or??? What's the preferred process? Just saw a beautiful example on the Hatz thread but didn't want to hijack that. That's what I'd like to achieve. Covering is Stits with Aerothane topcoat if it matters. Any suggestions?
