How to smoke your own marker lights and tails...
Needed...SandpaperTestor's transparent black model tint (available at hobby shops)Testor's gloss enamel clear coatBlowdryer1. Sand the outside of the lense to be tinted until there is no gloss left. You want a dull finished surface since the testor's paint likes to run a lot.2. Mask off any part of the light you don't want smoked3. Start by spraying thin coats, use the blowdryer in between coats to speed up drying time. When one coat gets tacky, spray the next.4. Keep applying coats of the transparent black until the desired result is reached.5. Start spraying thing coats of clear, applying the next coat when the previous coat gets tacky. Again use the blowdryer to speed up drying if you are impatient like me.6. Wetsand if you so desire. A little rubbing compound can help shine up the finish as well.You are done.. Pic of what mine looked like on my old jetta..

What kind of buzz does smoking your tailights give ?

I just used whatever I had laying around. Can't remember the grit. You can even use steel wool. All you really want to do is scuff up the finish of the stock lights enough that the spray tint will stick.

Did my GTI tails in all red last night. I'll post pics this weekend. 220 grit sandpaper to lightly scuff the lense, then thin coats of tint. Took me about 45 minutes start to finish.
