its a taillight tint spray, it actually a japanese product and it comes in a few different colors, red, yellow, blue and smoke, it does a very nice job if you do it in the right temperature conditions and and do it in light coats many times over, i work in a body shop and have done it to manny cars including both of my own vehicles, the only place i know to get it is autobahn performance group (apg) which is where i get mine, its between 15-25 a can and they have a website so you can mail order it, the link it <A HREF="http://www.autobahnperformancegroup.com" TARGET=_blank>www.autobahnperformancegroup.com</A> and if for some reason that doesnt work go to <A HREF="http://www.roninmotorsports.com" TARGET=_blank>www.roninmotorsports.com</A> and go to the links page, there is a link to them there, good luck!

why, probably because this stuff is intended for outdoor use, and if hes gonna paint it, he should still clear it afterwards, and clear is not $4 a can anywhere, therefore to do it right would cost more than that, just go with the tint spray, thats what its made for.
