Not sure what paint program you're using, but if it's photoshop or some other ones with layering capabilities, I would recommend layering a transparent layer of the template on top of what you're painting. Turn the layer on to see how far "on" or "off" you are when you're painting. I would also render your texture with the template on top (at say 5 to 10% opacity), then render it onto the model to see where the grid falls. visualkinetics
