Pic Request!

Does anyone have any pics of a Gray Luster Max with smoked side markers? Triying to get an idea of how they would look on my ride.

I dont but I can tell you they wont look as good on your car compared to having them on lighter color car (white, silver). You have a darker color, so I suggest clear corners. But its all imo

unless ur car is black smoked side markers look better on light color cars .... you should try painting it the same color instead

What paint and method did you use to smoke the lenses? Do you have a picture of them lit in the dark?

I bought smoke tail paint from this place.http://store.streetbeatcustoms.com/bulandtailli1.html I don't remember how many coats, but probably 6 to 8 lightly sprayed on and then used a gloss clear coat. People have used other brands, just search the forums, but I bought this because the shop is near me. Sorry I don't have night pictures, but during the day the red and orange show through a bit and at night they are nice and dark.
