yeah you use transparent black window tint paint, you can get it at hobby stores and stuff. its like with all the model car paints and stuff like that. or you can just put window tint on them i think its easier

 

i did my tail lights check out my link http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2415786/5, i have usefull links at the bottom of the page to help you out if you decide to do it

Good luck

 

if i were to smoke my tail lights i would crack the tailight open and spray paint transparent black on the reflective chrome parts.

Kind of like how the jdm password oem smoked side marker are.

 

anyone else?

 

i used VHT Nite-Shades, put two coats on, they are pretty much blacked out but are still transparent. a can is only a few bucks n is enough for two taillights. make sure u lightly sand the tails before so the paint sticks better

Never even thought of that, good idea for sure.

 

No way get smoked translucent vinyl tape from Ebay in whatever size you need. Very durablem, very glossy, and invisible.

best thread title ever!. haha just kidding. I painted my tails red, and stained glass paint works really really well. I used it on the outside of the lense too.

 

 

HEHEHEHE


lol j/k thats my car but i photoshopped the tails.. but you should be able to get that effect with nightshade spray paint.. and possibly a wet sand and a clearcoat afterwards

 

Nice Photoshop lol... looks actually real! haha.. what part of CT are you from?
