I have a model I've sprayed with Brodak dope. I want to add lettering to the wing such as my AMA number, etc.

How do you c/l master painters mask off for painting letters? I could use use decals, but are they dope proof?

Here's what I was thinking:

Print out the letters on printer paper.

Cut them out with a #11 blade.

Tape the "stencil" onto the wing.

Go around the edges of the paper cutouts with 1/8" Scotch plastic tape.

I'm sure there's a better method.

Thanks. Here's a pic of the plane:
