One question though. How did you make the reverse lights so perfect without no paint? Did you put something to prevent it from spraying on top of it?

Intrigue me with your secret. Hmmmmmkaaay?

i used the tape alot of painters use to do custom flames and stuff its real thin and easy to bend and just take it around the edge of the white part(so you get the perfect circle). then take must painters masking tape and cover all the white up. Then once your nighshade has dried take the paint off and clear them. Wetsand and some buff and they'll look like mine.

DO you know the official name of the tape? And can you describe this wet sand process you speak of.

you can use a thin penstripe tape for the edges. And wet sanding is simple. go to auto zone get some 1200-1000 grit wet or dry sandpaper. Get a cup of water dip the sand paper in it and smoothly sand the clear coat until its just flat black looking. you dont want any shiny spots next to dull spots. then once your done and its nice and smooth hit it with the buffer and it polishes them to a shine.

Hey, I was wondering. How does the spray hold up in car washes & pressure washing? Will it come off at all?
