Looks great to me.

That looks awesome, Ace. Please explain though: what is a paint mask as opposed to stencils?
Spendy, but good info! Thanks!
That looks outstanding! How long ago / how's it holding up?I also used Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer, Gillespie paint thinned with Xylene, and Tractor Supply hardener. I was under the gun to get the truck ready for Memorial Day and we had lousy weather all that month, I think I had barely a week of curing on the hood before putting the stencils on -- the weekend before Memorial Day! Definitely the Velspar "Restoration" Hardener from TC made this possible.
However, I did not have a good experience with spraying the Gillespie over spots of primer done with a rattle can, that seems to lighten up the paint over those spots, maybe you need to give the rattle can primer more time to air off the propellants. Most of what I coated was sprayed on with a paint gun.
For the stencils I used rustoleum flat white and lightly misted the paint on with small paint gun using 5 or so very light coats, I was very pleased with the results.
