When I primed and painted my hull I made two stickers to cover the stencil, one smaller which I put on first and then primed the boat, then another that was 1/4 or so larger overall which I placed on the boat after priming. The end result was a grey (epoxy primer) outline around the original stencil. See attached image. drewread attached the following image: [181.25Kb] Drew Read
