I know how to nightshade and where to buy...my question is...how do you get it more transparent? Its a weird question i know...

But i see some cars done REALLY nice with nightshade...pure black just like the car...but the red comes throught great even through the day...I remember someone saying that you put a layer or two of nightshade on...then wait 2 days...then...wet sand it? anotehr layer?.....

just help me out with smooooth great lookin nightshade...for my next car...so I know ahead

I looked in the To Do forum also....

 

Wet sanding will get it more "Transparent."

Use a 2000 grit paper and then buff it when your finished.

I used a whole can on my old cougar's tails and they came out flat black.

Then I wetsanded and buffed and they came out more reddish.

 

OK one LIGHT coat of nightshades wait 15 min, second coat a littel heaver wait 15min and depending on haw dark you want then(2 coats lightley tinted 5-6 coats black)repeat. After they are totally dry, add 2 reg. coats of clear to make them shine!! I have never sanded or wet sanded and they come out like glass every time.

 

I suggest waiting about a week or so from spraying the niteshades before you wetsand.

 

to wet sand or not to wet sand? that is the question. i'm going nightshades as well and this srt4 dude to me to wetsand.....uhm.

 

if you could dilute it somehow, it would work
ghetto: spray niteshades into cup, add water, brush it on

of you could get a paint on version, and dilute it

 

i just ordered a can. i'll tell you how it goes. damn, i'm going crazy with all these little visual mods i'm working on. i gotta plug my grill so check out my latest post in "blacklight". there are some nice pics of the headlight mod in there a few posts down.

 

lol i saw neon drivers that used black pantyhose stretched over their tails one time, they made a video how to and everything

 

i just finished using the niteshade on my tail lights and side markers. I would def. sand it u really dont need to wet sand it just enough to scuff it up. I put three coats of it on all of my lenses waited 5 mins in between each coat. Used a heat gun to speed up the process, cus im impatient, Do clear coat the lenses about 15-20 min after ur finnaly cat brings back the shine. I got mine at www.pitstopusa.com under chemicals and then under tint and sprays. Extremly happy with the product looks sweet on my yellow ss, and pretty much benifits any color car u own.
