its my secret formula...i mixed a couple chemicals together to airbrush something for my cousin on this big sheet of plastic and i was thinking "hmm, i wonder..." cause i was going to put vynil on my tails to smoke them or as someone said, "stockings" lol...but i was told they dont look too good after a while. so i came to the solution, AIRBRUSH. i even tested it to see how hard it is to take off once on, OMG, it took about 45 mins and a whole bunch of chemicals, rags, and supplies including pain thinner to even make it fade...plus mines are alot more glossy

Holy crap! You didn't even take the lights off the car? Were you out of 10mm sockets or 3 min of your time?

ahhh, yes... the Top Secret black paint in clear mix... the failure here stems that you didn't take the time to a) remove the tail lights and b) wet sand them afterward... trust me, both are needed to have a professional look... might have been just as well to use panty-hose...

No doubt. It took him more time & he wasted materials to mask off the car rather than taking the lights off.

I fail to see what is so special about this? Nearly every shop in my area smokes tail lights that way...
