Quoted from Lowrent:

Can you explain a bit further the problems with the stencils ?
Will I have more success if I cut the white stencil to isolate the High Speed logo and each car separately ?

I actually did the stenciling for this cab and NO I wouldn't recommend his stencils EVER!

On the HS white stencil the images aren't lined up properly with the 2 previous colors. They're not even lined up with themselves properly.
The material he uses to make the stencils is so sticky that it rips up the base coats. The material is so dense that lining them up without ANY reference points is borderline impossible. The lack of registration markers, IMO, is just lazy and inexcusable. Especially when the layers aren't calibrated to fit from even a single reference point of earlier stencils.
I've done a lot of stenciling, arcade & pinball, and this is the first time I've used this persons stuff and I'll never use them again.
