I used it on my truck. Looks really good. But like everyone else, two coats is just about your limit. I did two coats of the VHT Nightshades, and three coats of clear coat. Then polished them. Left a very nice, dark shade of red. I did happen to have a black LED third brake light and sprayed it I believe once, and it came out black, but the light shines through fine, day or night. If you want them to be black, I think black tailights with two shades of Nightshades would give an awesome blacked out look without sacrificing light visibility.

I did my taillights and turn signals when i did mine. I also taped off the reverse lights like 97ramnj did. I thought about doing my headlights too but mine suck enough as it is. Samples, i bet the cab lights look awesome at night.
