Default paint effect question

What are some you guys using for a stencil to get the really small hole effect? Is it a certain type of paper? Tried to search the forums but haven't had any luck finding it.

I use this: http://www.mscdirect.com/product/det...gle-PLA+-+Test

It's adhesive, but don't peel the backing off or you're going to have a huge mess.

Daves microholes are what you need. Very easy to use. Highly recommend.

I use that for LargeHoles. If you de-tack it with the palm of your hand, it sticks just enough to work perfectly, and can be peeled off easily, as long as you don't over-wet the mask with paint.

The tiny hole pattern in the front was done with MicroHoles masking. Body by Elex300.
