hey what would be the best way to black out tail lights? Everyone online has their own ways I'm just wondering what people do on here?

I got VHT nightshade, dupli-color clear coat

whats up with the wet sanding and buffing?

and how do people get the shine?

 

best way to get a prefect shine and color. is black and clear from a gun. now. some guys do get a good shine and color with VHT and clear. do then. wet sand with 1500. then whatever coats of VHT then 3coats clear. wet sand from 2000-3000 and then buff and polish/wax.

 

nightshade at your local O'reillys mine are kinda light, you can still see some red...
and they have a matte finish. its not glossy, and i get alot of compliments on them.

 

You don’t need to sand your lights up to 1500 grit. When painting a car you are only suppose to sand the last coat of prime up to 600. Otherwise your sealer, base won’t stick as well.

I just sanded my tails with a 600 dry. Shot my red mid-coat clear, dry, sand with 1500, PPG 2055 clear, baked, trizac (3000 grit), then wheeled.

Guaranteed your best way to get that "shine" you want.
