    Smoked tail lights and new grill

    I just bought a 2000 GMC a week ago and couldn't leave it stock for very long. First things were a new billet grill, replacement fog lights, and smoked the tail lights. I did the tail lights for a total of $7.32... not too bad in my book. What do ya think?

    they paint them. or you can put tint over them i think. the paint looks the best and lasts the longest. its a mix of black and clear...obvious...then wet sanded. ive seen them do as many as 4 coats. theyre SUPER dark then

    I think you are thinking of reducer (thinner) not clear. you still clear them after you are done spraying them

    gotcha, I sprayed mine and and just did half and half then you still have to clear them, and you are right you still need to wet sand.
