top of the letters look better, like a license plate back when we had embossed plates, BTW I hate the flat plates we now have.

Thank you all! I have some 4" foam rollers in the shop. I will try that first, because the gate already has the paint I want on it. I do think that the sanding method could work really well also. I never thought of either. I love having access to this forum!

I remember the custom cab's from the 70's at the dealer and thinking to myself those tailgate letters were put on with a roller. Yes just like license plate.
