Lace Stencil Project Dano Inspired Jazzmaster Finished Pg. 5
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2020 4:54 pm
I have always really liked Danocaster's lace stencil Jazzmaster builds. You basically use lace as a stencil when spraying like with furniture or anything else. I wanted to give it a try. I was really worried about messing up so I sent Dan a message and he was kind enough to give me some tips, as well as, put up with my dozens of progress pictures. Since I didn't know how well it would work, I didn't make a thread until now that I have it mostly done. Just needs to cure before I clear. Here are progress pictures.
First I sprayed white Krylon primer and white paint as the base and sanded it with 600 grit or so to make sure there was stuff for the Duplicolor to stick to.
Next I sprayed kind of a Gunmetal Grey Duplicolor over the white. It took two cans to get it even in color.
Then came the lace part. I bought a yard of lace from a local fabric store that had a pattern I liked. I cut that in half to have a piece for the front and one for the back.

I tried to get it kind of centered and level. Not too much worry though since the body isn't like a rectangle or standard shape.
After that came a wet coat of Duplicolor Dark Toreador Red. You only let it sit for like 30 sec before lifting the lace off the body.

Overall it went really well other than a spot in the forearm curve on the front where the silver paint stuck to the lace when I pulled it up showing white under it.

I drop filled that with red after I sprayed the edges.
To do the edges (no joke), I put the body on a big bag of toilet paper so I could just spray the edge all the way around with it back side up and then front side up.
It worked out super well in my opinion. Here are pictures!
