Another DIY Smoked Vision Amber Corners Thread
Well, after seeing the thread on Honda-Tech, I decided to purchase a set of eBay Vision corners and smoke them myself. I used some Hobby Store RC car tint paint and sprayed one coat on the outside. Then I used two coats of automotive clear coat. Then I did two coats of wax on them. 
. Here are the results:
Sorry for the large pics, didn't have time to resize them. Comments and questions accepted.

You can go darker, but I just wanted them slightly smoked. I didn't want to go overboard. I only did one coat of the tint paint.

Corners were like $30 and the paint was like $5. I can take a pic of the can I bought later tonight after work.

It is window tint for RC cars that you spray on the body. The clear coat was just Duplicolor Clear for painting cars that I had laying around. I will take pics when I get off work.

I don't remember them being that flat/dull. I think it might just be the camera angle and weak 1.3 megapixel camera.
