VHT is good, but this stuff looks awesome. Ive been niteshading peoples tails for years and have always had to wet sand numerous times after spraying then apply clear coat to get it shiney. This stuff looks like it comes out shiney!

Damn that crap is expensive on eBay. Its upwards of $30 a can!! Thats ridiculous! But still looks good!

Nice... I may do another shade now; if it makes them too dark it gives me a reason to buy the brake lights I want

with my two coats on my brakes and one coat on the reverse light it seems like I used maybe half a can.. I think they say they cover 20 square feet or so

I like this look myself where you can see just a hint of red.

Myself, I was just going to upgrade to the smoked anzo led tails and maybe a strip of white leds for a reverse light and do away with the oem one.

^^That was what I kinda had in mind... When I can do all the mods I can think of and pay off the car I was thinking about painting it flat black and putting white wall tires on.... Good idea or no??
