Default VHT Nite Shades Questions?

I've got the cans in now. I'm going to black out the tails, 3rd brake light, and corners. But should I DEFINETELY clear them? If so, does it have to be done after the inital coats are finished? Or after waiting 6 hours for it to dry? How many coats? And does anyone have any suggestions for which type of clear to use?

So far I know to do the tails side by side.
Do 2 light coats, wait for it to be tacky, and then finish it up.
( Thank you Messienation )
Wait 6 hours for it to dry.
And nail polish remover will take it off (if I dont clear it).

Any other tips/tricks from you guys with experience?

definetely clear over it when your done or it will fade and look retarded. The most important thing is dont panic when you are spraying it, because when its wet unless you lay it on really thick (which you shouldnt!) it looks very very light, almost clear. So just make sure you put on light coats because this stuff drips and runs very easily.

And of course post pics when you're done, I am trying to decide whether to tint them with niteshades or buy some blackouts so I can't wait to see yours done!
