You can then hold that down onto the shell using it as a guide to draw on your guidelines.

If you draw it on freehand without a guide, then only a select few uber-artistes will get it perfect.

If you look on my paint thread, the recent shell I did for Steve Kirk, I used this to get it just right where the chrome trim lines came to a "V".
