Now that I have such a beautiful stencil, the rest should be easy, just spray paint through it. I remember from some previous experiences that spray particles would try to reach behind the stencil and that would make the edges fuzzy.
For the first test, I used a couple of drops of silicone glue to hold the stencil as close to the key as possible. The result looked promising:
However I didn't like using the glue. I decided to stretch the foil across the keys using two test prints as supports. Here's just a nice picture of sun projecting through the stencil:
(We have sun)
I used some tape, perhaps some other things, but the foil would never stay put. In the end I decided to just use some weights (don't put too much weight on it).
The stencil prints always have these annoying connecting bits which I also had to add, or the stencil would not hold itself together. I touched them up using acrylic white paint on a tip of a smallest brush that I could find.
