Smoked tail lights.

Has anyone ever sprayed that tint in a can for smoking out your tail lights before and what were the results?
Thanks! GMC

YES... I wish I had pics of this too. We did it to a 1999 2-door cavalier... we removed the tailights and used two size round lids and sprayed around them.... during the day, they looked like the tailights on the Nissan Skyline if you know what that is... anyways, nice thing was at night, no affect, they looked like regular tailights! Good stuff... works awesome.... I think you would not have a problem...

i cant complain. i use the stuff all the time. just make sure you clean the tails really really really really goood. the tint shows everything. i usually sand them down with 800 grit before spraying then use 1000 in between coats. it is plastic so its real easy to paint

great suggestion.... and as for the cleaning, Simple green I have found is the best to get road grime and dirt off any vehicle parts... IMO.
