Default What is the best kind of paint to use?

So I want to paint some leopord print on my flat black paint. I can't decide if I should make a stencil and use spray paint or manually paint it on with a different type of paint? Any advice appriciated

I would think spray and stencil would be easier. Which ever you decide make sure you clear coat

One thing with rattlecan spray paint is when you go to clear the artwork. If you use enamel rattlecan paint you NEED to use enamel based clear, or if you use an lacquer based paint you NEED to use an lacquer based clear, and not really sure how those two types of clear would react with the factory clear on your bike. Best bet is to use a waterbased paint aka AutoAir made by Createx.
