basically just take a sharpie and find a piece of paper and write what you want your stencil to be in block letters... then after that tape your paper to a piece of cardboard and take a razorblade and cut out the stencil. there will be some letters (like A or D) that dont look right because of the huge spaces in them.

when you take off the paper and see the cardboard.. put it over the grip you want to do it on what i did (im sure there are many other ways) is take pieces of tape and cut them to little circles for A's and a half-oval kinda shape for the D and put them wehre u want them to go... then make sure every thing is lined up right and tape it on to the grip. spray paint and let dry for like 5 minutes and take the cardboard away and the pieces of tape off... let it dry the full way for at least a half hour to an hour.. over night would probably be best...

and thats what i did... if anyone does anything different post it up and give suggestions

stencil n00b. you dont leave the stencil on the surface, with the paint, which most likely you will use to much and make it run, will dry to your stencil and rip it, it should dry in less than 15 minutes even with shitty paint, unless you make it insanely thick and then it will look awful.

2 layer stencils look better but require a lot more effort on cutting them out.. and use an xacto.
