A trick I learned in Vo-Tech many years ago - use pinstriping tape for masking in close. It gives you a sharp edge, it's easy to get straight, and it gives you a slightly wider edge to lay your masking tape on.

You should see @kennythewelder ' s truck album pictures. He polished his tailgate strip(and pretty much anything else aluminum on the truck). Looks gorgeous!
I think LMC or somebody else does. You can also mask and repaint, semi gloss black is what GM used. An Xacto knife and a few extra #11 blades will be helpful with this process.

Anyone know who makes the stickers for the CHEVROLET letters?

Pretty sure they're painted on from the factory, at least that's how it looks on my red truck.

I haven’t polished the banner yet, but I did get bored and painted the letters lol.

You have to strip off the clear coat with paint stripper before you polish.
