my smoked tails and berger panel

Came out pretty good, smoked em myself with some clear and black paint with a gun. I just gave them a slight tint, but its like 8 coats of clear so i still have to wet sand 'em..they should look like glass after im done. Car goes into a paint booth on tuesday and im getting the 1 side of the car fixed including the rear bumper. I also got inserts for the camaro lettering i have yet to recieve. The berger panel added a nice touch to the car, i wish it had come out alittle darker black, looks more grey than anything, but whatever, i can always redo it later. Enjoy!

The Berger panel would probably look a little better if it were darker black. Otherwise, your off to a good start.

Why do you have a lot of imperfections, did you spray in your back yard, lol? I thought maybe you just sprayed lots of coats to try and get the shade you wanted for your tint.

yea the garage is packed right now with two bikes and a ton of just random crap. My dad and I just built a shed to move all of it out of there. So i sprayed em on a table outside. I did spray them alot to get the tint to even show. I am surprised the tint took so long to even show, the paint in the gun was black but it looks like i didnt use enough black mixed in with the clear. The only imperfections there are is a finger print or two..i grabbed em alittle early lol.

I really really don't like the Berger panel being like that on that car. It'd look a LOT better gloss black.

I really like the taillights though.
