    Try not to do more than 3 to 4 coats. If you tint to dark nobody will be able to see your brake lights in the day time.

    i also notice that sprays like nightshades tend to darken at it dries.

    The nightshade actually lightens a bit when it's dry. It's really dark when you first spray it.
    Is it ricey?

    Yes dont over spray like me I had to remove al the paint (pain in the ass) and start again because even at night people thought I had no running lights, I also added a red LED strip to the bottom of the tail light between the bumper and taillight wired to my breaks so people can se me brake during the day. I ill post some pics soon

    oven method, open up, take apart, spray inside of tail lights. it makes it look like a nice shiny gloss color instead of that cheap tacky flat black look on the tail lights. just saying. ;)

    Next time I'm tinting the tails I'm gonna use the same method as my fog lights. A painter mixed black in the clearcoat. The result was amazing and it's still lets trough a lot of light and I avoided the mat black look :-)

    And btw i used the same black paint (x08) as the body so people think I have fog covers ore something. Can't wait until next year when I'm selling the wagon to pay for the repaint onmy black G. The brakelight in the rear wing is getting the same treatment as the tails then.
