They're not commercially available. The ones you see most painters using are done with vinyl cutters.

There are a couple of guys on here selling masks. Look in the buy/sell/trade section.

I cut custom masks, logos, graphics, logos etc... $12 for a 9x12" sheet, $3 shipping. Been at it for over four years. email [email protected]

Can you pretty much make any design?

I normally cut from liquid mask and images Ive traced to the shell, but sometimes to get that clean look, you just cant compare with a computer. How small can you cut designs?

Any lettering/logos and graphics that for the most part lay flat. Some of the buggy stuff has too many complex curves. Shoot me your email and I'll send you some pdf examples.

+1 for Tom's stuff. He has them ALL already done. Especially if you are looking for race themed stuff, like NASCAR,etc... his library is deep.

He even custom scaled some to fit a body for me.
