Smoked amber corners on a budget...actually turned out good

in the midst of all this hype for smoked amber vision corner lights for us 92-95 guys..and PW coming out with their own set...i decided to "smoke" an extra set of fake visions i had ..heres the results

After the "smoking"

First couple clear coats

and finally wet sand, couple more clear..this pic is bright because its under a light to show the finish, the actual darkness is the same as the ones above ^^..and we're done
