i have a friend of mine who smoked his tail lights by painting the outside to match his truck, it would look good, but he never keeps up with his truck.

torch, turn the acetylene so it smokes alot and hold the lenses over it, messy but works, then spray a little clearcoat over the inside to hold the smoke to it, ive done ghost flames that way when painting, great effect.

i have hazed the outside of my lenses then lightly coated them with black paint the shot them with clear coat on my 02 z71 since the factory tail lights have the ugly amber lenses for blinkers turned out nice on a black truck

A friend of mine smokes his taillights by using clear coat an black die. I forget the ratio he used. But he said its dependent on the manufacture for ratios and also how dark you want them
