I was reading on another thread about painting a billboard with corrugated metal. It can be found here:

Someone recommended: pounce, project, grid
What exactly does that mean?
I'm not a
sign painter, but I'm curious to understand this process.
Thanks!
Pounce is usually a piece of
paper with a series of pin hole sized perforation in it which allows a pounce powder, like plum line chalk, but usually black to pass through onto the surface you need the pattern. Then you can paint in the lines.
Project is usually either an opaque projector or an overhead type and the image is projected onto the substrate and you can either draw the lines in or work while the images is being projected.
Grid is where you take a small maybe 11" x 14"
paper of the drawing and make a series of lines criss-crossing, creating a grid like proportional pattern. You make the same criss-cross pattern on the substrate and paint what ever is in the grid onto the substrate, but at a larger scale.
