"VHT's Night Shades"

just looking for opions or anyone who has used the product, liked, disliked, really looking into it i think it would look great on my all black tacoma

 

I used it to blackout my tail lights on my contour SVT . It went on great , just use multiple thin coats , just don't go to dark , you cant go back . The only thing i didn't like , the finish faded in a year (almost like i didn't tint at all .

 

Good stuff. Remember light coats.

You can also spray some clear coat right after you apply the Nightshades.

 

Used it on my tail lights on my 98 Rover, Dont halfass it and youll be good, Remove the headlights and wetsand them with a high grit paper to scuff the surface. for a more matte look, If you want gloss then Rub mineral spirits on them to give them a nice clean, Like people are saying, One coat at a time With someone in the drivers seat so you can always check after each coat!

 

DO IT!

 

If it's too dark then use nailpolish remover and it'll come right off.
Rubbing alcohol might work too.


It works best if you tint the inside of the lenses (if possible)..leaves stock shine and gleam..and looks greaT!

 

Unfortunately no..I sold the truck and can't find a photo on my phone...so idk.


Search around on CustomTacos..bunch of people have done it over there inside the lenses.

 

Do it like this, and all will be well

Looked into doing the whole Night Shades approach and a couple other sticker tint products and in the end landed up going with... DURP, yup plastidurped and have had tons of compliments, they're pretty damn dark, and like the matte finish way more. Driven in front a lot of cops and been good to go so far. Hell of a lot easier to, tape and spray.

 

Have you got any pics w/plastidurp tails?

 

I do... although not sure how to post them yet...haha

 

Lets see if this worked, no the best pic but... The only one I have uploaded right now.
