Just get some paint stripper and materials and take off the existing white paint. If it doesn't come off there's not much else you can do. I wouldn't recommend trying to trace it in gold paint, you won't be satisfied with the results at all.

Okay, we need someone who can get rid of this, I don't want to hurt the site, but I'm not going to look at this stuff, so I may take a leave for just a while until this is under control.

Hi every one I was wondering how to Put Stencil back on my Alaska blades if it was painted over with white paint? Cause i dont want to mess up the blades I could trace it first but idk if i should find some gold paint or something Is somewhat fairly easy project. It's silk-screen project. You need a special type of triple-layer paper where you draw your design. Once you finish, you apply it in reverse with a hand-held squeegee small enough to force the paper to transfer whatever you draw into the surface. before pulling the cover you need to apply heat from a heat gun while you remove the cover film paper. Presto! you're done. Things to remember: The surface has to be clean from dirt and oil. Flat surface works best for a beginner than curve ones like glass shades. The right type of paper is not easy to find. is not the type of thing you can get at Michael's even though they do sell some type of silk screen paper but is not permanent. When Applying heat to silk screen work, move the gun around as you firmly press down. When you're ready to remove the film, apply the heat as you remove the film. A special pen is required. Using anything else will destroy the paper. The color ink is in the paper already. So no "inky" mess ups. Do not press your hand against the paper. That will transfer your pressure to the paper and eventually to the surface. Silk Screen DOES NOT work on porous surfaces. When looking for paper, The best Metallic silk screen paper will not get darker or greener with time. Practice, Practice, PRACTICE! first. This is an art. you need to master it. I do Stencil filigrees and scenic arts to the custom blades I manufacture and I had my share of mess ups. So don't worry about it. |
