Default Smoking the tail lights

Can you do it with tint or paint? Is it hard to do. I think im going to try it on mine this weekend but ive heard of people painting them and tinting them. Witch is better? I got an 2000 Gmc extcab.

No its a spray tint. I've tried it but it just "fogged" up, i guess i was(nt) using to much or little of it. I've smoked a few w krylon, and they turned out decent. Now that i got mine professionally painted, i wouldnt ever spray paint them again.

I got mine at walmart. I think it may be a little bit cheaper there then at your local auto parts store. I cant remember what exactly is on the can, but im pretty sure it says krylon fusion for plastic, or something with plastic. Should be easy to identify.
