i painted the tailights, the middle brake light, and the side markers with nite shades spray tint. Lights shine thru as normal during the daytime ... i like it way better than my taillight covers. I would recommend this to anyone ... heres the pic.. ill try to get more of it soon

Looks good I like that color blue too

 

ty ... i also forgot to mention that i only used 2 coats on each piece and i still have half a can left ... if you are thinking of taillight covers ... please try Nite Shades first .. i had taillight covers and it was hard to backup at night BUT after i removed the tailight covers and tinted the lenses with NiteShades the light passes thru as it would without the tint and it looks great

 

where did you get this stuff?

 

heres the link to it ... http://store.yahoo.com/afterthoughts...htnigpain.html and take my word for it ... its great stuff

 

It looks great. I wanted to do this since I have used the Nightshades on everything but my tailights but I heard one guy said it was really difficult to get it all even without the stuff running. I have blackouts now but I'm always weary of someone stealing them. Maybe he put to heavy of a coat on? And did you use a clear coat? Did you sand them any first?
Edit: I got mine from the local model shop.

 

looks god

 

Actually it was quite easy to paint ... i did a real light coat just to see how it would color and how thick it was and i let that dry. Then i did the 2nd coat real even and in straight lines until the taillights got to the darkness that i wanted and then i stopped. To prep the taillights i just cleaned them with some basic cleaning supplies and that was it. No sanding what so ever. Im very happy with the results and if i were you and you wanted to do this, i say go for it

 

do you just paint over the outside of the taillight?

 

yep ... its that easy

 

How many bottles did you use, just one?

 

looks very sweet! Great job!!

 

not even a full bottle ... i would say that i used about half .. that was 2 coats on everything .. the taillights .. the third brake light and the 2 side markers

 

New weekend project.

 

I have ordered the stuff through O'Reilly Auto Parts (if you have one local) a few times - only like $8 bucks a can - way cheaper than $13 + $8 for shipping.

Looks very good Calli!
