Painting Question - How do you remove stencils wet, with multiple coats?
I have a question about the timing of removing stencils. I am doing a Defender Restore:

I have a set of one use stencils from gamestencils.com I have read the directions and my question is in regards to the timing of removing the stencil.
Many people have written to remove the stencil before the paint dries completely, the stencil guide recommends the paint be at the "barely tacky stage" to get crisp lines upon removal. However, my assumption is that especially with the final yellow coat, it will take multiple coats to cover the black and red completely. If I allow each coat to dry before applying a new coat how will I remove the stencil with the first layers of paint still wet or "tacky" enough to keep from getting a rough edge or flaking upon removal?
Also does anyone have any recomendations of oil based vs. latex or rattle can (krylon) vs. latex through a preval sprayer?
My plan was to prime, sand smooth, base coat of black rolled and then sanded and finished with krylon satin black, and then use custom matching colors for the red and yellow, thinned using a preval sprayer.
Would love to hear from some of you guys who have already done some stenciled cabs...Thanks!
