Smoked Tail Light Paint/ Tint

[IridiumCore]

Ok just out o curiousity has anyone ever tried using the paint to smoke the tail lights for tinting windows? Buddy said he wanted to try it and advised against. When he said why I could only say let me consult the experts (You all) cuz I think you should use something only for that which it is intended.

here ya go...smoke tint window spray paint then used a clear coat.
I did this like 4 years ago with no problems.
I removed lights cause I wanted to get rid of the altezza look!




I did however have a problem when I tried to do it to the headlights, it kept peeling off, I just dont think the clear coat sealed right.

I dont see what difference window tint spray would be to using Niteshades?

I contacted VHT about the window tint spray and they said it is discontinued.

Well considering I don't know what I'm doing I may just go to the shop and get the tints.

I tried this so my front would match my rear perfectly.
Except the flaking part. But ya being a glass lens, I can see that.

Have done this years ago with simply black enamel spray paint, very light coats till you get it just dark enough....the light still shines through fine, even if you all but black them out.

I did mine, and even with good prep they still tend to peel off because they are glass and not plastic, what I ended up doing was removeing all the paint and used some "smoke transluscent self adhesive film" and they came out better and still look great, and better yet if your ever decide you dont want them smoked you can just peel it off and they're back to stock...
