What about applying the masking tape over the letters on the tailgate, then taping the vinyl letters (with backing still on) over the masking tape & tracing. Then remove the vinyl and carefully cutting along your traced lines? Just a thought. May not be a good idea. I've been mulling over how to tackle this.
