I just finished shooting a coat of paint on the bomb before the winter hits after por15-ing some surface rust. Running out of daylight, i just painted over the tailgate CHEVROLET letters, which had been red before, even after i masked the whole center area around those letters last time i "painted" the truck. (the faded black paint left unpainted sort of made the red letters stand out, with new black on the rest of the gate. Anyway, I want to repaint the letters red to match the wheels and pinstripes. I want to spray it on, not brush it, but i need to figure out how to mask it off to do that. But i'm pretty sure just using light masking paper would let overspray in around the loose paper. Any body have any ideas how to accomplish this? Or is there a pre-made cut out for that? I used some thin masking paper the other day and 'etched' over the letters with a pencil, sort of like they do with tombstones to get the letters off of them. I figured I could try to cut them out and then transfer that to a heavier paper or light cardboard as a stencil. But with the raised letters I'm not sure how the edges would look. Anybody have any better ideas on how to mask off those letters on the tail gate? Thanks, Lee
