Third, the top paper layer is removed, which exposes the actual stencil.

Fourth, the paint is sprayed over the stencil:

Fifth, I go do some yard work while the paint gets tacky.

Sixth, I very carefully peel away the stencil:

Unfortunately, the previous JPG was saved at such a low quality that the red paint looks really bad. Well, it is actually smooth and doesn't look as ugly as in the previous picture.
