nice!
will this work on headlights too?
probably not huh, guessing that the red on the break lights seemed a tad bit darker than what it should be.

There is a real easy D.I.Y. way to do this, it involves throwing them in the oven for about 1o minutes.

yeah, i've checked around every import shop i can find around here and no one seems to carry it??? a friend of mine said to add 1 drop of black to clear to get the same thing but i dont know about that, it'd be much easier to buy...

i have found a place to order this, but they may make me buy it in quantities of 6, if so, i may have a few cans for sale... anyone interested if they make me buy it in quantities? i will sale it for the price i pay for it, plus shipping. i haven't gotten a price yet, but once i do i will let you know, and will be able to let you know the total price for the spray plus shipping...
edit: i also forgot to mention that i think these are 16 oz cans...

does this spray come in a lighter colour? It seems to be pretty much black, how bout just smoke, like the licence plate covers? Do you just spray fewer coats for that?
I've seen a few older cars with the blank spray on the lights and the paint is very flat (no shine), could you spray clear coat over it to keep teh shine?

yes, you spray fewer coats for a less dark color, and yes, you can clear coat to give them a shine, 2k1lxcoupe, i am not smoking the entire tails, but your opinion is just that YOUR opinion, when done correctly, IMO it llooks good, and clean... were you around when pimpdakota was here? his lights were sweet, i also think derrick had some smoked tails at one time as well, its all about the person's personal style... it's not yours, but others may like how it looks...
