Yep. My bro did it to his tail lights and cornerlights on his BMW. Looks awesome. Just make sure you do very even light coats! Also, warmer temperatures are recommended.

why don't you just get VHT Nite shades, those work pretty nicely.

Yes it will work, i have done many of them for my friends

VHT costs 20 dollars with shipping and its only 7 ounces, and the spray i bought is 16.42 for 9 ounces

VHT is made for the specific purpose and gives better results and wont fade or chip as fast as the testors paint. By the way, 7oz is enough to do quite a bit of smoking. With one can I was able to smoke the clear part of my rear lights on the benz, darkly smoke the entire assemblies on my daily driver, and still had about half a can left over. ;0)

testors works...but for me, it tends to peel off after a few months. when it does this, i just take it all off (it comes off with rubbing alcohol) and do it over again. next time im going to spray some clear coat on it and hope it solves the problem

let me ask you guys a question? do you spray it from the inside of the light or from the out side?

Outside

ryhi-that is what i plan on doing, putting clear coat on it, not only for protection, but to give it a shiny look

If u spray at the inside will have better result, and trust me on that, cuz if u spray the outside it will not look as OEM or after market made, and people will able to tell its a home made, plus u will have to watch out to use teh right cleaner or those tint will get mess up!

[josh k]

The results you get all depend on how well you paint and how well you mask the light. I painted the outside of mine and they look OEM even up close. ;0) Pics are in my sig link (2nd page)

[C280 JR]

so i spray it from inside the same way i would go about spraying it from outside, is there anything more i should know

remeber if paint on the outside, spend a lot of time preping it. ita all about prep. 80%prep 20% paint. Also do it in a dust free enviroment.

[jstrat85]

i think the best thing is spraying it from the inside its harder but its going to look better!

[C280 JR]

ok i tried the stuff on the geo just in case i mess up, and the spray ended up rough not smooth...do i need to sand the light first or not....give any tips thanks
