Default Taillights......

I've got a set of red/clear taillights... im thinking of trying to tint the clear part so it'll have a smoked look to match my black housing headlights. What kinda paint or whatever do i use to do that?

Why don't you paint the red on?
I've seen people do it on the DIY forum and it looks like it comes out really nice.

I went a bought red transparent model paint at Walmart. It comes in a small can and is used for model cars. I got cherry red and also a clear coat. It has lasted a year now and I enjoy it over the normal Altezza lights. Check my sig for pics.
