Re: VHT Nightshade
I have used it on numerous vehicles I have owned.It's great.I usually spray 3-5 light coats on mine.Then go over it with some clearcoat.Then you can wet sand it and polish to get a shiny finish.Like any other paint,just take your time

Re: VHT Nightshade
Do you do it on the outside or inside of the lense? I've heard of people doing both.

Re: VHT Nightshade
I have always done the outside of the lens. This pic is of my old Tiburon.

Re: VHT Nightshade
Yep.Just depends on how dark you wanna go.I did a couple coats of clear just to make sure I had enough for the wet sanding

Re: VHT Nightshade
Sweet, thanks.
I found a guy on a 350z forum that did a complete write up on how to do it. http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/How_to_Smoke_Taillights |
