VHT NightShades
 

I know plenty of you guys have used this to tint your tails, reflectors, side markers and so on. But I've noticed that you all use a clear coat after. Has anyone done this without the clear coat? If so, how did they turn out? I ordered a can of the NightShades and got it in today, but the clear coat didn't come with it. I wanna go ahead and tint the rest of my lights tomorrow so I don't really wanna wait for the clear to come in... Any suggestions for a replacement clear coat I could pick up from a local parts store or somethin?

Rust-oleum gloss clear worked great and has held up to many washes and waxes. :D
lots of dust on some of pics. there super shiny and clean! Got the clear at home depot. 4 coats of niteshades , 3 or 4 coats of clear to taste.
Me likey !

Thanks man :thumb:

Did you put any coats of the VHT on before you layed the lighting bolt down?

The VHT spray by its self looked real good but I went ahead and put 3-4 coats of dupli-color clear coating and it actually made the finished product look really dull for me. I had planned on re-doing them when I had the chance but I found a good deal on LED lights and I gotta say I have fallen in love with them. I still love the lightning bolt!!!:thumb:


On a side note: It is funny that since I tinted my lights awhile back I have seen two vehicles around here that have done the same now... I explained what I was doing with the product when I purchased on the autoparts store...Guess word of mouth has spread? OMG I may have just introduced the tinting plague in my little town:eek:

i did my rear side markers and did not use any clear, I think they look awesome....did three coats of VHT

VHT,no clear coat a couple months ago. I believe some has worn off.

The bolts were put on the lens before vht. Then carefuly removed while vht was still damp, then after drying , clear coated 3 or 4 times.
The hardest part was placing the bolts on the lens equaly. WAPITA ! but the finnished product is sweet
