alright so i tracked down some niteshade finally..took me all day..but anyway i plan on using it on my taillights, 3rd brake light and rear side markers tomorrow and will do the front markers later. im gonna get some dupli color clear to go over it. how many coats did you guys use? i want it to be dark but still visible so i dont get pulled over or rear ended. ive been told that 3 should be good. but what do you guys think?

Well this is niteshades & not hobby tint.

I only used 3 coats of the niteshades & its plenty dark. I honestly wouldnt want it any darker. And for clear I used the Duplicolor truck/suv automotive clear coat. I did 5 coats of it.

ok cool. how long did you wait between coats of niteshade and clear coat? btw i bought the same brand clear. can you still see the light through it? and have you ever gotten pulled b/c of it? sry for so many questions but i hope to start on it tonight

Never been pulled over, you can still see them just fine & I did the niteshades each coat while tacky & then cleared after the VHT completely dried.

that looks great! i cant wait to get them all done. im not gonna wet sand mine either. i just did the side markers and they look pretty good right now. i just have to wait a few hours and then shoot a lil clear and get a new bulb for one of em.
