I hope somebody converts this to SVG of DXF

I have used green, blue and orange tape. Think the blue is better. Masking takes me about 15 minutes. I pick the straightest, longest cut lines and run the tape edge along that. The other edge over laps the other side and I just run a blade down it. I use 2 different widths. A thinner one that is just slightly wider than the top lines and then a wider one that is slightly wider than the bottom lines. Piece of cardboard over the star section with tape around it edges and then paint the stripes first. Leave all masking on and then remove the card board from star section. Cover rest of flag with cardboard and I use a piece of sheet metal on edge of stars section. Paint start section. Let dry and the remove masking and clear coat.motoguy wrote:I have cut one of these, as a test piece. I'd like to cut and finish a few of them. How are you guys masking these for paint? I'm assuming the "green masking tape and time" answer. There has to be a way to create a mask for high-volume paintwork, right? Would some kind of overlay work? A guy I make control panels for, has a vinyl overlay made. It has the switch names, company logo, etc. Depending on how long these take to mask by hand, it may make sense to purchase disposable vinyl overlays, to use as paint masks.
What do you guys think?
