[Stupid] Question about smoking tail lights

Haris

Hey everyone,

I am going to attempt to smoke the tail lights of my Z tomorrow and I want the reverse (white area) of the lights untouched. What kind of masking should I be using? Is simple masking tape okay? Will I still be able to effectively sand the surroundings while I have the mask on or should I mask it after sanding the entire light?

It's my first time doing anything like this by my self, I am also technically impaired so any advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
