nightshade on led tails?
I would like to tint with nightshade my clear led tails thought it would look better still letting the red show through.
any precautions... before shooting them?

Glad I went with the Bermuda blacks

Make sure to post some pics when you are done. I'd be sure to put 3 or 4 coats of clear on when you are done.
