Yeah, spraying the reflective section from the inside kills the reflector ability, so I will not be doing this. It would be best to smoke it outside to cover the entire thing. Covering partial interior of the lens this would work, but for legal reasons I will never spray the inner reflector since it kills reflection, thats quite illegal, as if niteshading wasn't bad enough, its still not THAT bad and all. So yay, more work for me to do, f***.. .

I want a painters setup so I can mix black paint with clear and get it to spray evenly with barely any need to wet sand, and gloss shine like a river.

I have a HVLP I wonder if I could Dillude some black paint enough to give it a smoke look

What is an HVLP? If it paints, could try it. PM ElcompaLalo about how to do it. Him and his friend smoked his tails the proper way, as seen here.

Thats cool. Definitely could work since it needs layed down low and easily for tail smoking. How much was hat if you dont mind me asking? I want to invest in a paint sprayer since I can see myself using it a lot.

I checked the site you linked and its about $500 - $700 give or take, sounds about what I expected. Put that thing to use man get yourself some PTM handles and mirror caps.

I may do that I was planning on doing the aersol cans but I think I rather do this. I have sprayed paint before when I was about 15 in high school I made a subwoofer box and I also helped my Dad paint a Boat console

Where would you get the paint, reducer, & clear. That's what I'm worried about is finding the right stuff
