I am thinking about smoking all the lights on my truck, using the 80% clear, 20% black mixture that I've heard about. I have a few questions...

Do you have to scuff the plastic on the lights? I am inclined to think that would decrease the clarity (i know, so does blacking them)

Is a urethane based paint the best, or is there something better? Looking for something that will bond with the plactic.

Is it smart to paint the fronts? (I plan on putting some lights behind the grill for driving at night)

 

Sounds like a good mixture. Just wash them in dish detergent to get rid of the oils and wet sand them with about 800-1000 grit. Then apply some Bulldog adhesion promoter and smoke away.

 

i agree with StrokerAce03, that bulldog tri-coat promoter is really good stuff, thats what i use on all of my plastics on my truck, havent had a single problem yet!!

 

where do you get that?
