When restoring 60-66, sticker or paint tailgate letters? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Couple of things. You can clear over good vinyl lettering with no problems. First coat needs to be light and let it tack, then paint as you normally would. If you go to most sign shops that do vinyl lettering you can get the lettering cut in paint mask. can have it weeded straight or reverse depending on what color you want painted first. The paint mask is resistant to the solvents in paint and it leaves no residue when it comes off. Edge quality is close to what you get using fine line tape. Been doing signs for a good while and will help with vinyl related questions any way I can.
Thanks
