Anyone ever use niteshades

[vortec350]

I got a can of it from Summit and applyed it but I need to work on them more to make them shine better than the kind of dull finish they have to them now.Just wondering if anyone has ever used this stuff before and if you liked it?
Thanks guys

what is it? to blackout your tail lights maybe?

[vortec350]

Yeah that is exactly what it is.I like it so far but I need to bring the shine to it to match my paint cause my paint is not dull by any means.I got this stuff cause I do not like that snap on black lenses,look cheap to me and rice.

i agree on the plastic covers, can you clear cote the tailights after the tinting dries, or maybe multiple coats on your pieces, might want to get a junk tailight to practice on, good luck.its going to look sweet , but i think even bird crap would look good on a clean ass truck like yours!

[vortec350]

Heck I alreahy have 3 coats on them now.LOLThey look good but I need to bring it to a shine and I am gonna do the clearcoat like you said,I bet that will do it and then I will put several coats of wax on them.
Bird crap,lol oh man let me tell ya that is something that absolutly drives me insane litterally.Infact last week, get this,I was driving down a Road goin to work at about 50MPH and a bird apparently flew over me and shit land on my windshield and also the bed of my truck,now that pissed me off and I immediatly pulled over and got it off.That stuff will eat through your clearcoat really quik and I was not drivin with shit on my truck.LOL I know they can not help it but out of all the cars goin down that Road it had to land on mine.

2 things that put me over the edge is bird shit after i wash my truck and bugs! i HATE bugs!how bad are the bugs in texas?

[vortec350]

I do not remember what months it is but a few times a year the damn love bugs are bad and will get all over the front end of your truck.That drives me nuts also,I can not handle that.

death to the fuck bugs

2 or 3 coats of clear, some light wet sanding, polish and wax will shine those tails up great!

[vortec350]

I thought about wet sanding like a 1600-1800 grit and then wax just as you said.That is what I am gonna do and I knwo that will work great.Thanks man,they will lok bad ass after that is done,heck they look awesome now but they really will then.

16-2800 is too much grit IMO. clear it before sanding the vht or it will probably dull out really quick. i say 2000 grit would be the most i would use.
