I Prepared my tail lights last night with 600, 1000, and the 2000 grit wet sand paper and then applied 2-3 coats of Nightshade and then 3 coats of clear coat.

I live in a dorm room and did these in my bathroom because I dont have a garage. When I was finished, these dust spec-like things got them. It's not too bad, but I think im going to hit them with 2000 and apply another clear coat or one VHT and one clear coat.

Other than that, turned out really good I think

 

Go buy a tach cloth and paint them upside down if you can...
Dorm room bathroom, new one on me, thats great!!!! lol

 

The problem isn't getting them clean, it's all the dust in my room that gets on it while I was painting. Doing it upside down would help a lot though.

I just took them to a different location and sanded down a little a re-applied. Came out much better, still not perfect though

 

I did this to my HHR SS....and got somr dirt in them. After I applied the night shade....I then applied 5 coats of clear. Then wetsanded and buffed them (angle buffer). They now looked dipped....no dirt specs or anything

 

Done, but I think I'm going to put some clear on the center piece so it doesn't stick out so much.

 

Can take a pic with the brake lights & taillights on, im thinking about doing this.

 

Alls you have to do is buff it out by hand or with a foam pad and 3Ms perfectit compound. It will make it shine real nice clark, reeeal nice
