What do you guys think of the way my new SMOKE tail lens look..

They look darker in the pic than in person.

Backup light is still plenty bright. So thats not a ploblem.

Im not sure I like the look. I used a smoke colored paint made for lextan plastics.

Difficult to judge from the photo. A bit too dark and a bit too far away to make a fair evaluation.

You need to spray one coat over the whole lens, then tape off the reverse section and do 3 more coats, followed by one coat of clear for it to come out right.
