I was in a conversation today and the topic was paint stencil for curved surface. It seem the guys I was talking too had seen some roll material that was very good at conforming to a curved surface, but was still rigid enough to hang up for later use. Acetate comes to mind, but I don't see it conforming as described.

Have you tried the clear backing off 3m vinyl? Works well and is cost effective. Cuts on the plotter, remember to put sheeting under it. Waste not, want not!

Shep, Both. Mostly Convex though. I've just read Tufbak masking paper. These applications are for a variety of surfaces from motorcycle tanks to corrugated metal protecting pipe insulation.

Curved like an oil drum or like a basketball? I like a material made by Spray-Lat (same as One Shot I think) used to be called "New Blue Sign Strip" , but I'm not sure of the name anymore - but you roll it or spray it on and then cut - not savable, though - and be SURE to use masking tape out to the edges or you're in for a rude awakening when you go to remove the excess!
