11"x14" 4 Piece Camo Stencil kit Duck Boat camo Grass Bark Cat Tail Marsh Airbrush Reusable Spray Paint GK4

Picked up a used fiberglass kayak for $40 on craigslist and wanted to give it a camo paint job for duck hunting. Really any pattern would work, including grabbing branches and leaves in the yard for stencils, but figured I would give these a try. I couldn't be happier with the results. Looks amazing. There's a bit of a process for doing it. Painting doesn't take long, but you can only put one color on at a time. Once the base coat was done (hour), maybe 30 minutes a day for 5 days. Start with a dark base coat, then add in layers of vegetation going darkest to lightest. You can always add a dark branch or two in the end. Gives it a nice 3D look. Be sure to let the paint dry between coats (at least 24hrs) otherwise you risk crackling, which happened once. I think I put the first coat of paint on too thick and even after 24hrs I had crackling in a spot. I don't have pictures of the stencils, but I added a 2-3 inch border around each one, to basically make it bigger. I just used clear boxing tape, putting a strip on each side so they stick to each other with part of the plastic stencil sandwiched in the middle. It's kind of like adding a picture frame to the stencil. I did this because the cutouts in the stencil go pretty close to the edges and I wanted to avoid over spray. It still occurred here or there, but without the border it would have happened a lot. Using boxing tape was super easy. I tried cardboard first, but that wasn't going to work as well and pain in the butt to make. You will get paint build-up on the stencil, but I could generally get the boat of this size painted before the paint buildup became too much of factor (dripping or smearing). I assume flatter surfaces might be easier. Mine had a lot of edges and contours too it. With the lighter color, I did wipe the stencil down with a paper towel so I could continue painting. I did buy another stencil, which simulated a bark pattern. I used this on top of the base coat before adding grass. The base was dark green or earth tone color. The bark was a darker color. I did this to give it some contrast as part of the base color. You'll see the background base coat in some of the pictures. Paint was done with normal spray cans. I tested Krylon and Rustoleum on a piece of wood first. They both offer great flat camo colors. They're pretty similar, but in a side by side test, the Krylon definitely had less sheen to it, which I prefer. I also added a Krylon flat clear coat to the bottom. (I do the same with my decoys to keep the paint more durable). I can't speak to durability of the paint job on the boat yet, just haven't used it enough, but looks great.

I like them . Well cut stencil. Work for most of my stenciling work.

Stencils worked great and made a good camo on my boat. Only thing is that with the amount of real estate I had to cover on my boat with spray paint the stencils got very clogged up. So I should have ordered two or three packs of them instead of just the one. But I placed another order for more to finish the rest of my boat!

Got it to paint Jon boats the stincle looks great and will try them out soon

it could e a thicker plastic. it bends really easy while painting

These actually came out really well. The plastic stencil held up better than I expected and you can even clean them off with acetone or a pressure washer and save them if you really wanted. Would recommend getting them if you want to make your boat look actually nice

These stencils worked great for my Jon boat I was refinishing. They are a little flimsy so I had to use tape and my hand to keep it in place most of the time. They worked great and I am very happy with the outcome.

I painted my Ozark cooler to match my Jon boat with this stencil. Turned out pretty good in my opinion. I wish it was a bigger size and thicker but for the price it does just fine.

demande un peu de preatique mais donne un beau résultat… si c’est pour un gros projet peut-être prévoir deux kit…ou alterner souvent entre les modele. ils deviennent vite difficile a manipuler avec une epaisseur de peinture colante

Semble très bonne qualité

Stencil is a little thin but still effective. Price I am on the fence about but there is not much options. Still worthy of a purchase Yes I’d recommend buying

Great seller with fast shipping. Works perfectly as described. Thank you!

Smaller than expected. Guess I should read closer.
