I think that's the guy who used VHT Night Shade spray paint. Most everyone else is using Blue Bats vinyl overlays.

We sprayed the tails of our sema tc with some tint spray we got from auto zone! It worked out nice. To check out the picks go to www.kreativeimport.com

Question. Where can I buy VHT Night Shade spray paint? My 06 tC should be arriving soon. I think the smoked tail look nice on a black tC. What do ya'll think? Also, if for some reason I don't like it anymore, is there a way to take the paint off? Thanks guys

They used to have them on Ebay. I also found it halfway down the page at caswell painting.
It is not as easy to take off as bat's vinyls (I think) but you coudl try a razor blade, or maybe paint thinner if you take the taillight out first.

Sup Patrick,

Hand's down to your car. Very nice work! I like it because it's very clean! Few question for you.

Did you have to take the tail out and then painted it?

Also, when you took your gauges out, did you have any problem with your MPR meter after you put it back. Is it still acurate? I once had a 95 accord. My MPR meter wasn't the the same anymore after I put it back. The meter was alway 20 to 30 MPR off.

I did not have to take out the taillights to paint them. I masked everything off as best as i could. I did have some overspray, but a claybar took that right off. As for the gauges, everything is correct.... I drove side by side with my friend's tC and made sure everything was the same.
