My Smoked Tail Lights.....:)
Hey guys i finally went around to smoke my tail lights. Tell me what u think.
P.s i didnt smoke the white parts cuz thats the reverse light, and if i did smoke em the cops will def. pull me over. The downside of it, is that the final outcome is a matt finish. Does anyone know what clear gloss spray to buy so i can layer it with a gloss finish?? |

Ha thanks for u opinion, i was shittin myself today cuz there were 2 cops driving behind me for like 5 mins......but i didnt get pulled over :) oscarying sure if u wanna do it. I dont know how to take out the echo tail lights, there should be a tutorial somewhere. All u need is some tail light smokin spray paint. I its called "Nite-Shades from VHT" just go down to ur local autobarn, repco, supercheap auto and they will have it. and u need some maskin tape. (I used some cheapo crappy one. It worked like a charm") tape up whatever parts u dont want sprayed and off you go. Unless u really want a detailed tutorial |

Looks very good! I like it ! I found an interesting thing.. the lower section of the reverse light isn't white (red instead), isn't it the rear fog light? Since ours are the same on both side. |

Humm, too much dark and too much matt... is it a film or a paint? If it's a film I suggest to try another darkness level. :)

it's a little dark for my taste (well, not my taste, but the cop's taste if you know what i mean), but i like these smoked tails.
approximately how many coats did you go through? don't quote me on this, but if i remember correctly from other tutorials, regular clearcoat would do.
