Any idea how to smoke the tail lights with the clear part still visible? I have a pair of smoked tail light covers, but Im thinking maybe you need the spray for this? BEcause I was thinking of smoking the tail lights to look like that and to put in a clear third brake light in as well, heres another link to the image if you cannot view it above

Masking tape and VHT NiteShades

 

and whats the best way to apply the nightshade evenly?

 

Um, I used light, even coats? Not sure how to explain it. If you are not sure how to paint a surface evenly, you may want to have someone else do it. Bodyshops can use tinted clear, but it will cost more.

 

hey im new here but for the Nigtshade deal here is a link to the whole how to

ive never used the brand nightshade before i used real automotive back and clear paint my all my lights on my 3geclipse which i like(i do the service to i aint going to tell my secret) ... i havent seen how the nightshades compair to mine but assuming that is exactly the same except in a can

 

I just did mine yesterday, they look pretty good. i have some after market ones coming in the mail so, i just decided to be cheap and used black gloss spray paint(2coats) and 1 coat of clear coat. i just use masking tape to cover the reverse lenses. Ill put some pics up later

 

Can you even see the taillights through the paint?

 

yeah, the look pretty dark but you can see the light through it just fine

 

Huh, interesting!

 

Heres a picture, the red you see in the right one is just a reflection. i might do another coat black so its a bit darker but im happy with the result and it only cost like 6 buck for the paint
