How the stencils paint

Painting tips

Always paint in this order: tan, pale olive, brown.
The pale olive stencil covers about half the pattern and bends easily. Tape the whole frame down, not only the corners.
The brown streaks are thin. Spray them in very light coats so they stay sharp.
For a more faded, worn look, use the alternative brown (RAL 8008).

Safety and maker

Spray paint outdoors or with good ventilation, and wear a mask and gloves.
Keep paint and small stencil offcuts away from children. Not a toy.
Clean the stencils with water or a mild solvent; TPU does not like acetone.
