Perhaps because windows arent porous? and are a dense material. Not a good idea tbh

When using spray paint you put a few coats of primer on first for the paint to stick to whereas you cant do this with glass
the tint stuff will just be like laquer - which will run on glass

On a serious note, is the stuff actually any good at all to use on lights?
Ive been looking for some smoked rears for my Ibiza, and they're rare to say the least.

I stand corrected

you could just have mist coats done, then laquered over the top of the lights, or less paint added in
that would mean they are only lightly smoked
im thinking about doing mines in a week or so an i'll get back to you with pics mate

really depends on how much paint is in with the laquer, how many coats have been done and how heavy theyve been sprayed
