Nightshaded Tails
Recently finished nightshading my taillights a couple hours ago, so now on to the pics
1st coat-
Me spraying a coat of clear, the professional way
And just a few more pics of the outcome
what do you guys think? not the best pics, but it gives you the overall idea and look of them.

The reverse lights look a bit more clear than the brakes. Maybe it is the camera though.
And you don't get that dark from one coat. You can make them as light as you want, you just have to make sure your doing it evenly. Otherwise is shows pretty easy when you don't do it dark.

you shoulda just used straight niteshade. I did 5 coats of straight niteshade, let dry for about 2 hours then buffed them out with ultimate compound and the reinstalled, turned out perfectly glossy and smooth as you can see.

Looks awesome.
When I nightshaded mine I did just my brake lights, like as in the two smaller and my third light, I left my actual tail lights alone and masked off my reverse lights. Personally I think it looks awesome but I'm a bit bias. My car is blacked out everywhere else, black car black powder coat wheels an dark tint, so I think it's a nice contrast
I'll post some pics when I'm not on my mobile.

Looks nice! You can control how dark by how far away you spray and obviously depending how many coats lol.
I had mine done with noteshade but then took it off and got vinyl tint.
