Question for all the painters....I am wondering how guys get the markings on their baits. By this I mean when they make a craw patterns or something and have actual black markings throughout the baits. Is this just a mask or are they doing it freehand? Also, if its a mask, anyone have tips on how to make one or what to use?

Mine are stencil. I pick up my stencil material at Wal-Mart in the craft section. You can use cardboard, milk jugs. or any other material that is firm enough to hold up to being sprayed. I prefer something I can see through before spraying.
