I decided I wanted to silver the "Pontiac" on the tail light to make it stand out from the darkness on the rest of it. It was a PITA for sure, I took a long long time to mask it carefully, but I'm fairly pleased with the way it came out. Not perfect but pretty good for a do it yourself 3 hour job.

masking didn't take 3 hours, thats from removing the light assembly to putting it back on with drying time, etc. I probably took an hour on masking. How the heck did you do yours in 10 minutes!?

Well, I looked all over and there aren't vinyl inlays anywhere that I could find. I found a discussion of them on the board but never any evidence that they were made. Also, the lettering is textured which makes me think that vinyl wouldn't look good over it.
I have a paint marker and tried that first, but I found that it looked crappy and was going to be pretty hard to get close enough to the edge of the lettering without going over.
