Wall stencil

[Irishgarageguy]

Hi guys, I have a new garage build, sort of retirement play house I’ve always dreamed about. Want to do a nice wall finish, painted drywall and want to stencil automotive art/pics on the top 2ft of wall to ceiling, have maybe 70 ft to work with and would like individual stencils to be about 16”-20. X 24-30” anything from old locomotives to tractors, bi- planes to hot rods, motorcycles etc.
best selection I’ve seen so far are on Etay. If anyone can offer other suggestions I’d be grateful.

Stencils you can use to provide outlines you can use for painting?

Depending on how interested and/or good you are at painting, a PC and projector can put the pattern on the wall from any artwork you have, and then it's "simply" a matter of converting that projection to paint.

Even the old overhead projectors work well for this.

Here's a stencil we did free-hand, cut out of a sponge.

Irish, Thanx for the Esty link, I have built some steel TIG rod holders and I want them "Pinstriped" with the material stenciled in the center of the pinstriping, I have looked for a newb pinstriper in the area with no success [I'm cheap and poor]. So my answer was find suitable art work and have a stencil cut so I could airbrush the stripes in, but I too wasn't sure where to look for them, but you plopped me right in the middle of them! Thanx Again Harry

You might also look at places like HobbyLobby for metal pieces that are like the result of a stencil. They have a lot of metal signs etc that are about the same price as that stencil.

Another option that might not be your thing: pick up a used vinyl cutter and make your own stencils. I have a Silhouette Cameo 4 I bought off FB Marketplace to use for race car graphics. I've found many other uses also, like decorating my lift with track maps. The software is pretty easy to use.
