When it comes to choosing a quality paint for your stencil project with the 50 stars, there are several options out there. This decision really depends on the medium you plan on painting. With reclaimed wood for example, an acrylic based paint will work great. ItÕs best to lay the stencil flat on your object and the paint can be applied with a roller, stencil brush, or spray can. For the stars the best method is using a roller and applying the paint as lightly as you can. If youÕre using spray paint, be sure to choose a low pressure can with a skinny cap if possible.
