Default How to make milky wings?!?

I've seen a couple of pictures of people with wings on their cars that look milky but aren't painted.
Anyone know how to do this???

What you need is like a scotch pad and you just rub it till it goes cloudy.

My Durga looked that way while the overspray film was still on the wing... Now it's painted I like it better painted though.

Which paint is durable?

I like Faskolor since it's water based. But it sure isn't scratch resistant!

For window tinting I use Tamiya smoke (spray can), which works excellent. But I've seen others with tinting in other colours - what are those? (brands/colour/webshop please)

Tamiya Smoke might work on the wing... it's quite scratch resistant also...

And Taateego supply a pre-smoked wing don't they?

A fully silver shell would be cool. I always like Mark Paice's shell design, ought to be done with chrome. (with Jiz wing ofcause)
