Have you tried this yet? If you have, can you post this process aswell, thanks.
Yes I have. It's just like wet sanding a car after you paint it and clear coat it. To get the shine you need to sand and then buff a bit. I don't have pictures b/c after I wet sanded, I decided I needed more VHT and then I just didn't feel like doing that again b/c I only used it on my turn signals. I could care less if they shine or not. Here's a couple pics of the signals though....
You can sort of see in the second pic that it has a matte finish b/c I didn't wet sand.
This should give you an idea. The more VHT you put on, the less light output, so it's going to differ for everyone. I put about 4 coats of vht on mine and they're pretty dark. Here's a before pic for comparison.
SaintNJ can u post some pics of the tails in direct sun light, i have a black 96 t/a and just wanted to see if the niteshade would be as dark as the black paint and not looked faded or dark blue due to the red taillight color under it. Get what im saying?

This is the best shot I can get for ya. For me, its black all the time, unless its reflecting its surroundings, but that goes the same for the rest of the car. lol
Hope this helps.

If you're referring to the pics that I posted on the previous page, they will be back up on Monday. My site is down right now and I won't be able to get my host on the phone until then.

just curious, how is everyones holding up. i saw my old car which i put niteshades on as well. that was about 2 years ago. and they still look decent, u can tell its starting to fade a lil bit though
How did you remove your lights??, because im trying to put on VHT on my reverse lights and it keeps running no matter how little I spray.
Do you mean from the car itself? I laid them flat and sanded them with 1500 grit to clean and rough up a bit and the VHT stuck great and never ran...
why is this not a sticky yet?
