I did not. Just Krylon and Rustoleum rattle-can and Krylon matte clear-coat. Seems that this combination stands up to bumps and dings so-so, but some solvents will ruin it in a flash.

MS, any tips for how to get the wax paper separated from the tape so you can peel them apart? I made up a few and they are hard to get separated.

I used my x-acto to carefully start separation at a point where the blue tape overlapped. It was a bit frustrating. But at those "joints" in the tape, there seemed to be a bit of separation already. The waxed paper looks lighter at those seams.

Hmm, not sure if I got bad wax paper or bad tape, but they won't separate. Seems like stores hardly stock wax paper any more, I went to two stores and only found one kind, it was an off brand.

Are both sides of the paper "waxed"?

Just toured the house to find what I used. I used Reynolds brand waxed paper and 3M #2090 Medium Adhesion tape. Hope this helps.

MS, thanks for taking the time and posting. Where can one get the stencils if not DIY?

I'm no artist but I had to give the Vias a shot. I learned that cheap tape is no good for clean lines, but it is a hunting gun and not a showpiece. Its one of those much maligned T3s (picked it up cheap from a divorce sale) in 300wm. It shoots bugholes so I will keep beating on it. Thanks MShuntfish for the tutorial. The tan is a bit darker than the actual Vias, but I had it on hand already.

Looks better than my attempt at Vais.
