well, I shaded them too dark, so I went back and sanded them down with 2000 grit, and sprayed another light layer over them, and 3 clear coats *1 each 5 mins*
other than that, I don't know how they came out so clear/glossy?

I used 2 cans on just the rear tail lights and another can on the side markers and 3rd light. Then I used two and a half cans of clear coat on my tail lights and the other half on the rest. I just need to wet sand and it will all be done. I re-did mine today. Here is a before and after:

And a few after I re-did all of my lights on my black Trans Am and clay barred it. Then I put my 99 Ws9 behind it for fun. I took this today.

I'm having a local body shop do mine. They will prep the lenses, apply even coats of translucent black followed by several coats of high quality clear, and then wetsand and buff.

I none of these are TAs but I thought I would chime in because I use VHT NS ALLLL the time! Most of my friends ask me to do it for them...
Yours came out GREAT! I have done it on my vette, my blazer, and my S10, and I also have a picture of my friends GTO I just did. I love how you can stay moderate and not put to much on and make it look like a charcoal haze or have it ALL OUT black!
Blazer (5 coats over brakes 2 coats over reverse lights)
On the brakes. The lights are still really bright!
My S10 5 coats
I got a little over zealous with the vette... 8 coats and you cant see the brake lights come on... Very dangerous but look GREAT!
My friends GTO 5 coats. Looks PERFECT!
Sorry if that was too much but I use this stuff all the time! Its pretty cool!
