Just Finished Smoked Tail Lights
I just finished smoking my taillights. They look a little dark in the pics but it's a pretty dreary day, no sun today. I'll take better pics on a nicer day.

I used this spray called Nite-shade. It's a transparent black taillight lens paint.

Still working on the Monoblocks...

I know what you mean CLK_Ivan, as soon as I'm done washing the car it rains.

Looks good Whiteyford. It takes a little getting used to for me but I'm liking it.

Leggs.. I'm not sure where my boyfriend gets it from, but I do know that he orders it directly from the manufacturer because he smokes out lights for people alot and so he buys in bulk.

Tell me about it. I am so fed up with the rain. We haven't had a nice weekend in a while, where I can enjoy taking my car out for a nice long drive.

Yeah, they do look a little dark, but none-the-less, they look good.

How many coats did your bf use?

Congrats on your 1000th post.

I believe he used about 3-4 coats. The pics make them look alot darker than what they are. I can't wait to see them on a nice day.

Looks nice and clean. Very smooth and the lights don't look rough. Sounds like the weather is bad across the Nation!

This weather sucks. I didn't realize everyone was getting this horrible weather. I thought the Northeast was getting punished or something.

But, it is absolutely beautiful today ofcourse on the day I go back to work. When I left this morning, the lights looked great in the sunshine . But now my car is screaming for a wash.
