I will take some pics tomorrow and pm them to you. You can always look at the pics of Truckys and Erics. I hope mine turn out as good as theirs did!

Here you go Keaton, its only 2 coats of Nite Shade. I am waiting for it to dry so I can clear it. Not to Dark and Not to RED. Also keep in mind this pic was taken in the shade.

EDIT: Here is another pic I just took in the bathroom. The whole tail light is black but i took the pic with the flash on to see how it would look to a car shining its lights on it. Looks like you can still see the reflectors which is good for me.

Thanks! I want to get them done but I guess my a$$ hole neighbor seen me outside painting and decided to mow his lawn even though he has not cut it for the past 2 weeks lol. So I have to wait until the dust dies down.

Yay! Got them both done. 2 coats of Nite Shade and 2 coats of clear. I still have to wet sand and polish out with compound to make them even shinier, but they look really shiny already now with really no imperfections and are more then good enough to put back on the truck without wet sanding and buffing, which i will probably put off till next weekend. Thanks to everyone for your help


I have a bright light on in the bathroom plus the flash on in these pics.
