How To: Smoked Lighting (DIY)

how to smoke ya tail lights

so start off by taking the tail lights out of the car... there are 4 nuts holding the outer lights on that are on the inside of the carpet and there are 3 that are holding the inner ones... start by cleaning the tail light to get off grease and dirt... make sure to DRY it properly lol there will be wrinkles and bubbly spots if ya dont... when you get your area set up to paint, start by taping the red area off unless u want it all smoked or smoked like u want it... see pic below...

then get ur can of paint and shake it like mad for a minute or so then with even strokes apply a light coat over the part u want to smoke...

then come back 20 min later and apply another coat or so a little thicker but not enough to make runs...
