Not for nuthin' but I think you're supposed to spray that stuff on the INSIDE of the lamp housing. That way you don't have to clear coat it.
This started out by people using smoke paint from model shops -- I'd guess that the jap stuff you had is a take off/same formula.
Anyhow, all the folks I've seen use it on the inside.
Just $.02 worth.
BTW: where'd you get it - what's the name of the product? Pic of can?

I have Folia Tec smoke out light spray. The instructions tell you to spray on the outside of the lens housing, not the inside.
I think it'd be a good idea to spray on the inside so washing won't be of concern.
I don't know why they don't tell you to smoke the inside. Hmm...

The smoked tail lights look really good with your obsidian black. Great job! Do you think it'll look good on my Capri Blue?

As far as spraying the inside it will be hard to get an even coat.

I was seriously considering whiting out the lenses, but it's much harder to pull off than tinting them (at this point). We still have to wait until a white-out version of the taillights have been released. I think that tinting them will actually look pretty good because it'll match the black of the rear window shader. As soon as I get the money I'm gonna have my tint done.

Smoked Tail lights » A or B?
Hey crew,
As some of you know, I was supposed to smoke my tail lights to a translucent pewter silver this past weekend, but the paint ppl went to Florida for some exhibition I guess...anyways I was thinking maybe I don't smoke the entire thing, maybe I should do what Brabus did to their SL in opaque Pewter silver...what do u think?
A) Full
B) Just the reverse portion like this SL pic
