Now that sounds like a plan! I have some masking/transfer roll film (12" easier to remove masking tape) on the way already for future painting which would work perfectly. Already got the letters hoping they were for paint template, not permanent.

Perhaps stick letters to tape/film away from truck, trim, then apply. That way I can do it in better light and in a more comfortable position.
