Hey the youngin is here,

friends wants me to smoke his lights for him how would i achieve that?, I searched and found no solution. Can someone write up a dyi? that would help alot.
thanks

 

I have seen only one Winning Blue RX-8 with smoked lights. Dont know how he did it but I would not do it. I dont want the cops on my ***

 

sand paper, Transparent paint, clear gloss coat

 

Your young, but your not invisible to cops, they watch you a lot closer. So try not to do some crazy **** with your car when you get one unless you have alot of money and can take a lot of greif.

 

Money, Oh yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhh! However in this town, Well its a long story. I'll tell you later K.

 

If I understand from MStyles correctly,

All he did was mix up some clear coat and tint it with some factory BB and then sprayed it on. I am not certain if he scuffed the lenses first or not.

 

they make a can of stuff you spray on the lights called nightshade. look at your auto parts store.

also ive heard you can take them off and get them tinted like windows but idk

 

better to wet sand the lense for easier application of the tint paint. then clear coat it for a gloss look.

or clean and lubricate the surface and lay up vinyl on it.

 

first application probably won't need a wetsand. Just a thorough cleaning and the spray should stick just fine and the lense will probably end up looking more clear without the first wetsand. But you definetely should wetsand between layers. 2000 grit or so should be good.
so basically...
Prep (cleaning, masking off parts)
Layer, let it dry, and wetsand, repeat for however dark you want
Wetsand wetsand wetsand!
Clearcoat, let it dry, and wetsand x2
Polish
Polish
Polish
Polish
Wax, or some kind of protectant.
Should be good. Just make sure you apply evenly

 

Smack it up, Flip it, Rub it down! OH NOOOO!!! hahaha

 

get a newspaper... preferably a sunday newspaper sinec its bigger... chip up the plastic tail light and spread evenly in a piece of paper and then roll that bitch up.... get a propane lighter and then smoke you lights.

 

You have just been propoted

 

thanks i asked a question i dont know if your being a jerk or not or just trying to be funny

eh call me a noob or whatever go ahead, whatever but know that everyone starts as one

 

oh and i thank the people who responded correctly and if some of you read correctly you wouldve noticed that this is for my FRIENDS mazda rx8

thats for the info just finished the black outs today

 

why would your freind let you do something to his car tha you have never done before?

 

my first reaction to the title was "well grind it up real small then screen it then get some papers and rollit up " etc etc. not that i would know anythign about that

 

LOL

hahah
ok

cause...
all we did was instead lay tints down on the inside of his head lights instead of the actual hard work so its kinda bootelg but still looks ok...

 

My brother-in-law did this really easily on his SRT-4. He went to Wal-Mart, picked up some light window tint, and then cut it to fit his tail light. It was cheap but doesn't look it. Just another idea for you.

 

lol thats what i did

 

yeah...apparently I have to be faster with my replies.

 

And the window tint is removable.

 

I just bought some Lexan smoked film off of eBay, that was pre-lasercut for the tails...some water, a blow dryer, and a little bit of time and they were all done.
