ive searched the board 100 times and cant find a decent answer..to those of you who know about it or have done it, what did you use to smoke your tail lights, how many coats, where did you buy it, how much money was it..and pics if possible..thanks in advance

 

Have you looked into purchasing them, I know a few different manufacturers that make them, and there is always the wonderful eBay we all love so much, I think they have some on there that go for $70 or something. Or were you looking for a DIY mod?

 

nahh actually i was looking for a DIY..its not worth buying new ones when i can do it myself

 

2 cans tint spray (hobbyshop/lobby) - about3-8 coats (depends on your preferace)
clear coat - 3-4 coats
800grit sand paper - scuff the surface before you paint.

Total cost is about $15 and about a days time.

 

niteshades seems to be a good one, any reviews?

 

I would use tinting film.

 

People have done it with just about everything. Nightshade, tint, flims, spray paint, etc... I ended up sanding mine down with 800 and then 1000 I think sand paper... Then make sure you clean it really well so that there is NOOOO oil (hands) or anything on there. Then clean it off with a clean moist towl. let dry. Then tape them off if you want. Then coat them with your perfered method. Make sure to use LOTS of clear coat. To tell you the truth I ended up doing my with a spray paint, seeing as where I live I can't find that other stuff. I like it because during the day you can't see the red at all, but then at night when I turn on my lights it looks pretty dran close to stock.

 

either use tint film or testors translucent hobby paint i used the paint and it looks amazing...will put up pictures when i get home...damn school computers always blocked and what not

 

That looks really clean man, was it pretty difficult to tape off the white?

 

its not difficult to tape it off, all you do i use painters tape and put it on only where you dont want. Easy pezzy
