looking to shade the tails, 3rd, and turn signals this weekend could you guys that have used vht tell me how many cans i will need and how many coats of clear and vht to use if i want somewhere in between a flat and a gloss black, because i dont want them to glossy. Thanks guys.

 

1 can and you will have about half left over. i did several light coats of vht, and cleared the crap outof them. if you want it flat/gloss just leave it be without the clear coat.

 

I used like 1/4 of the can on mine for tail lights and 3rd brake. I did 3 coats and remember to use light coats if you dont it will crack. I never did use clear coat and a year later still looking just as good as the first day.

I was going to pick up a can of that stuff, but then I seen Jays tails and i like the smoked vinyl and how it turned out so Im thinking of heading in that direction....

 

yea definitely do light coats, i accidently did a coat too heavy on my third brake light and it cracked all to hell, sanded it down so it looks stock now, u can still kinda see the crack, here is what mine look like i did prolly about 5-6 coats with no clear and still have quite a bit left over

 

i just did 2 coats on mine, no clear. its pretty flat black but in the sun the red shows thru, like in the sig pic.

looks good man, did you do the turn signals? i just did mine, pics are in other thread.

 

no i decided to wait and just get clear corners here in a week or 2. but how do you get the turn signals out?

 

There's a screw right in the middle of the 3 gaps. Take that out and the corner section pulls out.
