Do any of you more knowledgeable folks have any tips for doing a polka dot paintjob? I'm sure that they use some kind of masking available in large sheets, but as of yet I have been unable to find that stuff. I've done sucessful checkerboard paintjobs before, but that required literally cuting 1 inch squares of masking tape, and putting them on by hand. I don't wanna have to do the same thing with little tiny circles! Anyone have any suggestions? (or know where I can find the masking sheets?)

How about those circular stickers people use for prices at garage sales?Scott

<font color="aqua">that's a great idea that Scott has and here is the "sheet" form of masking (and yes, that's the real name of it! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]):

Re: Polka dots and checkers?
there's a guy on the rr board who had low tack polka dot sheets cut from a vynl sign shop. it looked like swiss cheese, and would be a good mask, for sure. lotsa light coats, and you're good to go.
