Default CE Stripes -- Premask

I saw some of the people say that a premask is the way to go for for the vinyl ce stripes to prevent shrinkage........

Is this something one can do themselves? Where would you find it?

My stripes should arrive soon so Im trying to be prepared....cant wait

Not sure, but maybe a body shop would have it or know where you can get it. Also, an auto paint supply store may have it.

Is there a problem with shrinkage? I've had four different cars with vinyl stripes from four different places, and I've never seen shrinkage.
