Larry, I'll join the others in commending you for your building prowess, detailing skills and color choices.

Question: what's the secret to lettering tailgates?

Thank you Monty, not much to it, I just took some Anitas acrylic metallic white craft paint took a small brush and brushed the letters they are recessed on this tailgate then I took a damp piece of old t-shirt and very lightly went over the top of the letters and removed the access, being careful not to pull it out of the recessed letter, I repeated this 3 times till I got the coverage I wanted I let it dry well between coats, then I went over it with the Ceramcoat semi-gloss acrylic urethane and also went over the tops of the letters with the damp cloth to remove the access and there you have it a nice and tidy tailgate with painted letters. Hope this answers your question, give it a try ;):)

Very nice!

Thank you Lee! :)
