Not the DTM mod...I'd like to smoke the whole taillight. Dark enough to notice it's smoked but light enough to still see red in daytime. What kinda paint should I use, etc.?

 

if you mean painting the top half lenses, i've done it. looks exactly how you described it.

 

have any pics man? Id love to see how it looks...what'd you use to smoke them?

 

no pics, but i used transparent black model tint from hobby lobby. just be careful with them in the oven.

 

Don't use TESTORS transparent tint. For the love of god don't use that crap. First when you paint it it's purple and after a day or 2 it's green/blue, really sux. I used that garbage on all my lights and it's EMBARRASSING. Had to remove it all with nail polish remover. Took like 2 hours just for the DCs and they were only 2 coats.

 

Thanks for the headsup

BlackonBlack..any idea what brand you used?

 

there's some thing called NIGHT(NITE) SHADES or something. It's from VHT I believe, $20+ a can.

 

I think I've seen that at some riceshops around here...I'll check it out. BigD...you have tinted tails?

 

Had. I had redded out and tinted. When taking off the tint spray it also took off the red. I wanted to do it again but I'm waiting for it to get warm, that way I can just paint all the lights while they are on my car.

 

Why'd you take off the tint? do you have any pics?

 

The thing turned blue/green like I said before. It just looked bad. I got no pictures, didn't get my digital cam til after. The only things still tinted are the headlights. Took a few coats off already but there is still a couple left. But it's BLUE/GREEN.
