Here is an excellent how to thread for niteshades on the cobaltss forum.

nightshades complete.....
well took a few hours just because of the drying times between coates and clear coates. I removed both front and rear running lights and just taped off around the rear reflectors...ended up working pretty well....

And then headlight overlays, then black wheels, then paint all the windows black, and so on, and so on... LOL

But seriously, those markers really worked well on the black SS. If I had a similar one I would definitely go for that.

One coat of clearcoat with a little black paint mixed in. Sanded first. Had to remove the bumper.
