9. Banksy’s advice on painting
with stencils
• “Spray the paint sparingly onto the stencil
from a distance of 8 inches”
• “A regular 400ml can of paint will give you
up to 50 A4 sized stencils”
• “The easiest way to become invisible is to
wear a day-glo vest and carry a transister
radio playing Heart FM very loudly”
