I'm not doing this to the Mustang but I thought I would ask you guys.

How did it come out? Did it look clean?

I just bought a 98 Jeep ZJ 5.9L black. It's pretty quick for a Jeep. I wanted to get smoked tail-lights but they do not make them.

Just wanted to know if I'm making a mistake trying this Or will it come out looking pretty neat. I will use a clear coat when finished.
