A stencil lets you paint the sign directly into the surface texture, then age it with the rest of the wall. This helps the lettering look like it belongs to the building instead of looking freshly applied over the finished scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003eVallejo Vintage Garage Sign Stencil ST-LET001\u003c\/strong\u003e, you can also control how worn the sign looks.
