Ok guys...first I blasted the 11x13" panel. Then I pretreated it and baked to dry. Then I shot the silver sparkle and baked for approx. 9 minutes. Let cool, then measured off the side box for the stars by using some stick on stars and gauging distances. Then I taped off the whole box and measured and masked off the 13 stripes. Shot the candy red and baked for another 10 minutes. Pulled up the tape to reveal the silver sparkle in between. Then, I pulled the tape from the square, applied a new coat of tape, and stuck the stick on stars over that and traced each star out with a hobby knife. After tracing the stars out, I pulled off the sticky stars and the tape in between the stars and left the actual tape star. Taped off the stripes, and shot the blue. Of course I heated the panel in between the red and blue stages, but the final coat of blue, I baked everything at full cure cycle.

I think the website looks really good and is very well organized. I found the red text on black background a little hard to read, but that kind of stuff seems to bother me more than most people. Maybe my eyes are screwed up
