Gunsmithing Painting my Manners T4 with Aluma-Hyde II

[hoguer]

I decided to try my first paint job on my CZ 455 Precision Trainer stock. It is the factory FDE, and I picked up a set of Extreme Digital stencils from BulldogArms.com and the paint from brownells. I put the small stencils on first where I think I like them and just coated the entire stock in Earth Brown. After 2 coats it says in order to fully cure it takes "several days". Do I wait several days befor placing the larger stencils on and applying the third and final color? Has anyone had any problems removing the original accent stencils after sitting for several days? Any tips would help.
Thanks

Quick rack via some schedule 40 3/4" PVC and some copper wire.

Stock hung up and stencils on.

I use Aluma-Hyde quite a bit. I wait about 5 minutes to remove any mask, stencils, re-apply what I need for the next coat and get it done. You don't want to be waiting hours between coats, get it done as quick as possible. Lay everything you need out in separate groups. I do turn up the heat to at least 80 for a few hours before I start.

Well I like the color patterns and how they were laid out, but it was way too wet and the edges look fuzzy, the paint was too thick, and I put some finger printes in it. Big learning lesson. Time to let it dry and then ship too ShortBus so he can paint it like he paints all my other stocks lol.
