Did you guys that smoked your lights use something like this?

If so, did you do any kind of clear coat after you smoked the lenses?

BTW...the smoked look on black looks

The clear coat is damn near essential to get a sheen that will last and last.

Having smoked my tails and my high beam lenses, I strongly recommend using Krylon Triple Thick Ultra Clear Glaze. The stuff will look just as glossy as the paint on the car, and it is so thick that it almost feels like plastic. The durability, from what I have seen, is incredible. With a coat of wax, the tails are almost difficult to look at they are so glossy.

I used the VHT Nite Shades paint which comes out totally flat without sheen. But, once the clear gets a full wet coat on the lens, the smoke job looks professionally done almost immediately.

Thumbs up

Great thread! Black with half black on top looks best imo.

Where can you find the 92 tail lens that is clear or white on the top and red on the bottom? I saw a jdm pic once and never could find it again. It was on a white car as my car is DPW. I was debating to do a black top half, it looks good on a black car but it may not go with my white car. I am not sure I like the redout either.

So my options are:

1. White top and red bottom 92's
2. 95' set with clear on bottom and red on top.
3. Or get a stock set of 00' tails.

What do ya think?
