Roy Hi, When I am using Stencils I use a "PENTEL" Paint Pen, which is simply a fibre Nibbed plastic semi clear bodied two piece pen which unscrews and you fill up with the Acrylic paint colour of your choice,
The pens come in 3 different sizes and because the nibs are fibre you can shave them into your preferred shape, Fully washable under a warm tap and worth every penny,
Just follow the outline of the Stencil and then fill in,
No worries about paint creep,
I favour a "Small Pentel" to get the outline before using the "Large Pentel" Paint Pen to fill.
Shaun.

Re: Using HL Stickers As Masks
Another good tip (no pun intended), from your good self, Shaun. I've had Pentel pens before; but only the gel and marker types. I didn't know that they made a paint pen....but now I do.

Re: Using HL Stickers As Masks
Good tip and I got to get me a "PENTEL" Paint Pen. Never heard of one but sounds a good solution to many decal problems.
