I'm looking to try to paint the Tiger eye on the yard before we head to New Orleans.

Need some assistance.

What kind of paint? I'm assuming it's water soluble. Do I have to get a couple of colors and mix them to make the purple?

The other thing I need some help with:

Any ideas on how to make a decent size stencil for the eye? And what would should the stencil be made of?

Any help with this would really be most appreciated!

I know. That's mainly why I posted this. I was wondering how/where they got the paint and made the stencil.

I tried that link and it doesn't work. I also called that number and it went to some lady's voicemail.

Nothing about stencils.


Would kinkos enlarge a pic of the eye to a pretty big size?


I will post pics once we get it done.

Awesome. Thanks so much for the help, guys. We're thinking about putting it on the roof instead of the yard!

I found that one earlier after I started this thread. I went to their website and they don't have it. Funny they'd post it on youtube but don't advertise the product on their website. Weird.

I think I'm going to go with the last link posted. That looks good to me.

I'll post pics!

USMC-Just don't post that weird Samuel L. Jackson gif again! Damn that thing creeped me out!

Lowes in BR used to carry the complete kits w/ paint and stencil.

Not sure if they still have them though

Check online. There's stencil you can buy. I did. The eye winds up being about five feet long by three feet high. Very cool.
