Default in the process of smoking all my lights!

i read a few post on here about smoking your tailights, third brake light , etc. i really liked the pictures i saw. then my freind who is a painter at the shop i work saw me looking at the page while i was working and he told me he was doing the same thing to his streetbike, so he said he would shoot mine while he was shooting his. so i took all my headlights,running lights, taillights and third brake light and scuffed em down, and already shot em down with one coat. he mixed some black with clear and someother stuff to make it pop he said, but it looks good so far , hes gonna shoot like 5 more coats on em tommorow , and ill try to get some pics up when i reinstall everything.

awesome sounds good.. for the headlights tho, just hope the cops wont give you any grief... i know they are similar to having covers on there.. but i had a cop ask if the light shone through at nite.. i said yes, lol.

cool beans. hope you didnt screw up the headlights by tinting them...maybe just one coat so youll get some light output but still have the darker shade. 3 or more coads would probably cut the light out too much

I love my smoked taillights, and third brake light. Hopefully the light will still shine through your headlights.
