VHT Niteshade PROBLEM!!! NEED HELP ASAP!! Ok well I painted my tailights and I painted all my turn signals and got the blackness where I wanted it and I went ahead and sprayed the clear on it....
The clear is like all white....its not transparent at all!! Im using acrylic enamel...is this what Im supposed to use or no?? Ive let it dry for like 10 hours now and a little of the white went away but its all blotchy now!!
How can I get rid of this??? Do I need to strip all the paint off?? If so what do I need to use?
I havent cleared the tails yet cause they are PERFECT!!! And dont want to mess them up like the turn signals did.
THANKS!!!!

The same thing happened to me when i put the clear on the vht. All i did was wetsand the clear off with some 600 grit and then 2000. then i just used some 3m rubbing compound and some polish and they are smooth as glass now.

This is pretty good advise I would go from 600 to a 1000 then 2000 buff with rubbing compound and then polish. They will look brand new when your done.
rattle can is no good. Use high quality stuff on your baby. dupont or ppg. Very expensive if you have to pay someone to do it. But you get what you pay for, and it will always look good when its done right.

I should have just gotten the good stuff the first time, but they still turned out really good but it definately took some extra work
