painting a bullseye

[deviltronix]

How do the big shops like GMW and Wayne mask their guitars in preparation for a bullseye graphic. Is their a template you can buy? A bullseye require perfect circles that are perfect widths and perfectly spaced. If not, they look amateurish and crappy.

Except you DON'T peel off the stickers while the paint is still wet.

Itr's easier just to glue the stickers, instead of painting

I don't like stickers on cars or guitars. There are some exceptions but not many.

I read in an old skateboarding book that you can buy circles and rings like that at sign shops, made of vinyl stickers. You spray the paint on then let it dry, then stick on the rings and spray it again, and lift them up carefully while the paint is still wet. I imagine that the bigger guitar shops do it more sophisticated than this but I think that would work pretty well...it did when I did EVH graphics on both my skateboards [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
