Where can I design my own paint job for my truck?

I decided to give my bike an awesome paint job and want to add some simple design by stencils how do I do this?

• my bike is Black and yellow, I wanted to paint it with matte colors like black and yellow, I had this idea for some sort of racing stripes design, my inspiration was Bumblebees Camaro designs with black being the more primary Color, should I use stencils? or design a shape by taping tape to the frame or something? I know how to handle the prepping and painting but I need to know how to make my idea... any ideas?

• Answer:

  You should paint the desired color of the stripes first, then apply masking tape where you want the stripes, then paint on your primary color. Like if you want a black bike with yellow stripes, you would paint yellow first, then dry, then apply masking tape where you want the stripes, then paint the whole thing black. You may have to apply multiple coats to add depth. When the paint has dried, you should remove the masking tape and your yellow stripes will be revealed. make sure you use Blue MASKING tape and when you are applying, do not leave any creases or bubbles in the tape, paint can bleed through those cracks and ruin your paint job... The direction you are applying paint is important too, Horizontal to create spaciousness, Vertical to create Tallness... I would apply paint at a horizontal angle.
