Default What product is this?

Everyday for maybe a week, I drove past a tC in my neighborhood that looked like it had spray painted black tails. It looked terrible and sloppy, and I couldn't understand why anyone would do that. I knew it just had to be something else.

Now, the other day I drove by and the tails were smoked. Beautifully, nicely, and evenly. Of course this is getting under my skin because for the LIFE of me, I cannot figure out what product this owner used. Most of the smoking products I read about are tints and sprays that you apply, let dry and they are done. I don't see anything anywhere about what you would leave on that long, then take off, and appears to stain the plastic. Any ideas? Thanx!

it could be sprayed with vht night shades but that wouldnt explain why it looked bad at first unless the guy wanted to be cheap and try to spraypaint them first then went back and redid them properly

Lamin-X or Nightsshades.

I just did Lamin-X on my fogs and you can't tell if they were yellow to begin with or not

(Started clear, put yellow Lamin-X)

NightShades FTW I've used it on a couple of cars and it works great as long as you aren't a hamfisted Rattle Can painter. Just remember, light coats(4-5) until it looks right. Put in on thick and it will run and be blotchy and shitty looking.
