Painting the Arc

Here is my new Arc-Reactor T-shirt based on the Iron Man 2 or Avengers films.
And also a step by step instruction how to make it.

1. Print the motive put an overhead film or something else transparent on it and fix it with some tape:

2. Use a hobby knife to cut all the parts you want to be printed out of the film. 

3. Fix it on the right position on your shirt:
