    Testors smoked headlights

    I just bought a can of testors window tint spray after seeing Matt325is' car. I was going to smoke the taillights. Do you guys think it would be kinda tacky to do the headlights/fogs/signals too with the same stuff? Just asking, don't flame. Thanks.

    Yes, deffinately smoke your headlights. Put as many coats on them as you can so the smoke effect is the best.

        Make sure you scuff the glass on the headlights with 40grit sand paper first, so the smoke paint will stick better. If you dont scuff them rocks will chip the paint off quickly.

            Jordan-

            Fuck that dude. If he uses some 1:1 dilution isopropyl alcohol on there, it will make it last much longer.

            What are you trying to do? trip the poor kid up?

              Jordan, are you just trying to be cool, as if my petty questions don't deserve a moment of your contemplation? If that's the case, then do me a favor and don't answer my posts please. And just because I don't add every single thought that crosses my mind about each topic doesn't mean I'm a 16 year old prepubescent, Pep Boys lovin, altezza crazy kid whos daddy bought him his first bimmer.

                  Seriously though, I dunno how much night driving you do, but this will SIGNIFICANTLY fux0r your lighting.

                    Man, I just saw an opening, and I took it.

                    Smoke everything but your headlights/foglights if you want
