Default Blacked out tail lights

Well i night shaded my tail lights today. Tomorrow i will be wet sanding them and adding the clear. If you plan to do this be sure to clean the nozzle if not it will spit everywhere and get spots on the lens. I am pretty happy on how it turned out. But we will have to wait till tomorrow to see how it looks after the clear and buffing is done. Pics coming soon

Hopefully you didn't go SO BLACK that you can't even see your brake lights now. LOL!

If your're talking to me, no it was very easy, less then an hour plus dry time from start to finish

Yeah depending where you're at sometimes its harder to get Niteshades...They dont carry it in most stores around here...I work at Autozone and we cant get it shipped even, But just go to Napa, tell them you need part number SP-999 And they can have it next day. I used transparent model paint before, but ended up with better results with the Niteshades
