Here I show how I used a one-time stencil to mask the sign board for spray painting. The creation of the paper template will have to be another Instructable at a later date, but suffice it to say, it was a matter of taking a photograph of the sign board, adjusting the image DPI so the image was actual size then using various programs to create text to overlay the image, then printing out the overlay.
This method of stenciling allows for disconnected letter centers to stay where they need to be for a professional looking result. Ok, the OSB for sign board isn't professional looking, but the lettering is. ;)
