the way I smoked my breaklight is like this,I took them off and cleaned them with brake cleaner because it cleans right down to the bone, and cause I use it for everything ,but make shure you dont rubb it to much or you will melt the plastic, or just use some other cleaning solution..I used VANS tint spray, you can find it @ any ricer shop, just make sure its the glossy type, once the lights are clean of oils or wax, shoot!!! till they are as dark as you want them and let dry atleast 3-4 hours although its dry to the touch in minutes...Or if you want the lights with kick @ss results then do this>>>>http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki...ights

curious what brand and line of that brand of paint you are using. as well as clears, catalysts, reducers etc etc etc.

i'm in the paint process right now, I'm using PPG's Global line of paints. Single stage white body, single stage black roof, with 3 coats of their 94 clear ontop of it all for the UV Protection...

With a lot of prep work and taking your time on painting, it can really turn out nice. I like the color it looks great, good job. Probably way better and cheaper then maaco
