Smoke Lens Spray??

ok so i want to tint my fender corners, rear bumper lights and tails, and a friend told me to paint them with this stuff.. and it seems pretty cool, ive done my searching on here, but only found people that had just done it w/ pics. yes it looks great, but does it stay?

my question is if anyone has used it, did they experience it coming off w/ power spray, washing, overall life, etc.

thanks!

You can remove it with paint thinner, I tinted my sidemarkers and I'm probably gonna do my tail lights soon

don't do it, it looks cheap.
when you try to remove it off the rear lens the sides underneath will be messed up.
trust me, look at my sig
