Anybody have a good source for removeable stencil material, the type you would use when you 1st apply the lettering color then the stencil and then the final color. When the final color tacks up you remove the stencil to reveal the lettering. The specific name for this material escapes me at the moment

The term I could not think of when I was composing the previous post was lettering mask. It is sort of the reverse of vinyl lettering. The masking is removed after the final color coat has been applied and reveals the lettering.

We got it from the same people who cut out the vinyl lettering. I can't remember the trade name for it either! Worked wonderfully for us, and by using this system, the lettering paint is "lower" than the body paint, and lasts longer!
