It's an Ancient Chinese Secret that's been past down from generations of great painters in Scott's family.It dates back to the Ming dynasty....Really!

You can copy the design you want and take it to your local sign shop and they can probably burn you a stencil. I tried to do one myself with a sencil burner and...well... couldn't get clean enough lines. While your at the sign shop you can pick up a powder coated sign blank and use it to practice on. AL

Go to a sign shop and have em cut a stencil for you,that's what Scott does,Then spray an over reduced white,silver or whatever color pearl you like.You can also have em angle it a little to give that floating effect.That's all there is to it.jim
