I’m going to post this question here because I know this is where it should go. Not sure how many eyes will see it since the main forum gets more traffic but I hope to find an answer to a question I’ve see asked before but never truly answered.

Do any of you know how the tailgate lettering was originally painted? Every repainted gate that I’ve seen has had the crisp edges that proper taping and masking provides (or has had the vinyl lettering). On every unaltered tailgate that I’ve seen, the lettering paint has soft/feathered edges, often slightly misaligned. I would really like to replicate that look when I have my lettering redone. I’d imagine some sort of template was used but I can’t figure out how they got the soft edges. I’m sure it was unintentional but it has a certain authentic look to me that I would prefer on a stock build.

Anyone know exactly how it was done originally or the best way to replicate it?
