You can always do what I did, but it's a lot of work, and a lot of work to keep up. I stripped off all of the clear coat, and paint. Buffed out the aluminum too a mirror shine, then taped and painted the letters. Oh wait, you said your tape skills aren't that good. LOL, ok, I'm showing off my work, here is a pic pic or 2, or more.

The OE factory letters, were painted on the aluminum. I stripped mine down, with air craft paint stripper, taped them, and repainted them black, after I buffed and polished the aluminum, and cleaned with alcohol.
