Sorry I missed this earlier:
They used a stencil. Back then made out of steel sheet, these days we use a mylar film.
The stencil is laid over the tailgate and then the color sprayed.
Over a period of time the stencil will accumulate some build up of overspray which must be cleaned or the stencil disposed of.
