I've been told repeatedly that the "smart" thing to have done, is to paint the letters before painting the body color. Sunday will be a great time to complete this.

Yep, it's difficult to cut masking tape without going through the paint below it, but your tailgate looks great in the pic. I used the chrome stick on letters on mine.
