Default Anyone know how to smoke rear tails?

Hello y'all! I am planning on getting another set of stocks so I can do a project with them. I want to red out the tails, the JDM look, with the signals and the reflector red. I also want to smoke the remaining parts, the signal and reverse, so it will match better with my black box. Anyone know how I can smoke the parts I want to have smoked?

Check the tech section. There are three methods there.

check this thread out...https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...576&highlight=

Just do it when the day is around 70 to 80 with low humidity. You can pick up Dupicolor Taillight Paint smoke, at any Parts Store carrying Duplicolor. Don't wait more than 1hr between coats and atleast 15min. Hope that helps...PEACE!!!

Thanks for the replies guys! I know that the tech section shows how to do the red out but I wasn't sure if there was a spray that I could use for smoking. Anyone have this done yet? I would like to see pics if so.

BloodySunday, that is exactly what I'm talking about. I also want to smoke the signal like you have the reverse too. Can you do something like that Bat? How did you do it BloodySunday? Spray or vinyl? I think it would look awsome on my BSP!

Just checked out your DIY, seems easy enough. What about durability? How long do they last? And most important how much do they cost? As far as signals, I meant the signal part of the tail. I would like the signal and the reverse part of the tail smoked and the rest of the tail to have red out. Es possible?
