1. A method, comprising:
creating a drawing of a stencil having an opening;
manufacturing the stencil based on the drawing such that the stencil defines the opening therethrough, wherein the stencil is manufactured via 3D printing;
positioning the stencil onto an aerospace part, such that the aerospace part is accessible through the opening, wherein the stencil is custom to the aerospace part;
positioning a masking medium onto the aerospace part through the opening;
removing the stencil from the aerospace part, such that the masking medium remains on the aerospace part; and
treating the aerospace part with the masking medium thereon.
