nightshade question

[trav_19]

well i know a lot of you has used this stuff....so my question is this..(dont have yet sooo) when i spray whats the best number of coats to get it dark? 3? is it like paint do you wanna apply another coat when it is still tacky or dry? and when clearing do you let it completely dry then scuff it or just directly spray over nightshades w/ no scuffing? thanks guys and pics help me decide what method would look best thanks again

I sprayed till it was as dark as I wanted. I think it was 3-4 coats.

Then i let it dry completely (a few days) and cleared the entire light, bezels and all.

So the nightshades itself dries to a matte finish if you don't clear it?

yes, should lightly wet sand 600 then clear.....

3 coats...

I just put 3-4 coats on mine and then sprayed on the clear after the nightshades dried. I didn't wet sand or anything and I still think it came out pretty damn good.

I have a question.... how hard is this stuff to REMOVE if you want to later?

I dont see why a little sanding and buffing couldn't get them looking good as new.

Don't your bezels just come off like my 96-8 taillights, or is that a joke?

Anyhow, about 3 coats here.. looks pretty dark because it's white..

I recently found out that mine might be a little too dark. When the sun is behind me they are pretty hard to see. I might have to sand some off. lol

definately clear! i didn't and it dried matte and started to rub off--gotta redo it. here's one of the few pics i have:

looks ok, only cause it was wet out.
