Quoted:
I could have spent $15.00 to buy a stencil set, but they're either too big or too small.  So I made my own using some samples I found on the interweb.  I enlarge or reduce the size of the letters and numbers using the enlarge or reduce feature on the copying machine until I get the right size.  Then I used an Exacto knife to cut out the dark areas of the numbers & letters and voila I have a set of custom made stencils.  Here's the end result ... I personally like yellow paint because I've spent enough time staring at the sides of USGI ammo cans  BTW, I distressed the rack numbers after I painted them.  But you don't really need to because they'll get roughed up after a couple of shooting trips.
