I've looked everywhere, yesterday i saw a write-up on how to use VHT nite shade on tail lights. .. .. it slipped my mind where i saw it @. If anyone has a link to a write on how to nite shade my camaro tail lights that would be great.
it's in the how to section on this forum. do light coats, i did heavy coats bacause youcant see the paint bacause it's translucent, and it driped, so i had to take it off and start over. the first coat should almost look lkike clear coat, and the second should loook a little darker. then you can do a heavy coat to make the lights black. just my 2 cents.
o and what makes a huge difference is after you wait a few days, give the lights rubbing compound and polishing compound and wax. IDK what kind of clear to use, duplicolor acrilic laquor showed up wight so dont use that one.
Best advise I can recommend is to take your time. If you rush it, it will look like crap. Do light coats. I like to use the term "just hair spray it." Especially for the first couple of coats. After about 3 light coats, you can start going a little heavier. Once your to the point to where you like it. Stop, and let it sit for at least an hour. I would probably go as far as to say maybe an hour and a half. After that, you can start to spray the clear coat. I highly recommend Duplicolor Acrylic Enamel clear. You can pick it up at any auto parts store. Works great. For the first coat, go even lighter than you did the first coat of nightshades. The trick to clear coating is to make sure the paint has already dried for at least an hour, and to then start spraying very light coats of clear at a time. After about 3 "hairspray" coats, you can move up to a little heavier coats. I just did my turn signals recently, and got GREAT results by taking these steps.
light coats of vht turned out crappy for me. The best results I got were with 3 moderate coatings. And I found Krylon Crystal Clear gloss gave the best clear coat finish. It doesn't make it hazy or white. Just give a coat so till it looks wet. Then follow up with a couple more.
i decided to do this last weekend, and since nobody around here sold vht, i heard that model car window tint works the same so i picked some up. did light coats over time till it was where i wanted it, 3 coats of clear. super happy and super easy.
what IS model car window tint? spray? or a film? interesting...

its a spray, just like vht. i have not used vht, but my buddy used it on his car, did like 3 coats and its like black. i did like 8 coats of model car tint and its not near as dark so thats problably the only difference.
