Default Smoked Corner Lights - How To???

Anybody mind posting a How-To, for tinting/smoking the corner lights on a 92-95 Civic. I've gone through about 3 sets of corners trying to do this, and I am sure many others would appreciate this.

Thanks...

Dont know about in CT but in MD we have a local hobby shop you should have something like that out in CT. Go the model paint section, get some transperrant black window tint (thinks thats what its called) make sure its transperrant, take off corner, spray to desiered color. hope this helps let me know if u have any ?'s.

I can get the r/c tint, but if i just spray it over the outside of the lens will it look funny? I've been trying to pull them apart and smoke the inside.

THanks

I just get some strong bbq grease remover and spray inside of corner and then the paint comes off and leaves it black.
Then just paint outside amber for a smoked amber look.
Are you trying this on oem corners or aftermarket?
