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.

 

nice job. is that just 1 coat? i want to tint my tails, but not nearly that dark, im just looking for a slightly smoked look.

 

didnt really seem to look any different w/ clear coat IMO mine look that glossy w/o clear...


looks sweet on the blue tho

 

that is actually 2 heavy coats but i ended up redoing them with 2 lighter coats and a clear
coat, the after pics dont show the clear at all lol

pics dont do justice, but ill go take some off a better camera to show how they really look and post em up in a little bit

 

good job man... looks good

 

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.

 

mine with 3 or 4 light coats, this was before i did the 3rd brake light:

 

I don't know how you guys are getting away with so many coats lol, I got pulled over my fist night out with 4 coats.... o well, op if you wan't them to look great, wet sand them and them compound them, they will look amazing!

 

Load em with clearcoat and wet sand that ****. It wont look like orange peel

 

Do you think that a dupli-color automotive spray clear would look glossier than the nightshade clear?

 

i ended up redoing them, this time i went with 4 light coats with a clear coat - updated pics

 

Looks damn nice man. Good job!

 

thanks man i appreciate it

 

that looks much better

 

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 very nice, i am going to do this to my car very soon

 

thanks i almost forgot i had this thread its so old lol

 

yeah lol i searched niteshades and was looking at some old pics of peoples that used clearcoat. Im going to do it to mine probably this weekend

 

Love thissss

 

post up some pics of yours when you get them installed
thank you

 

That is a crazy big fart can!!!! But nice job....

 

4.5" tip

 

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.

 

Looks sweet bro!!
