Tinting my tail lights

Decided to tint my tail lights since I finally found some Nightshades.

Here is the first picture - Tail lights removed, washed, wet sanded with 600 to remove the scratches I have put in them, washed again, cleaned and degreased.

They are sitting on the tailgate drying out where I got water on the inside.

 

What exactly does Wet Sand mean? ive read it alot and havent been able to figure it out, is it just a wet cloth scrub or actual wet sandpaper?

 

....wet sandpaper and lubed w/ water while sanding....

 

Actual sandpaper that is ment to be used wet. The water helps clean the paper to keep it from clogging up.

 

Here they are after the first coat of Niteshades.

 

Update -

Finished the second coat of Niteshades and the first coat of clear

 

Anyone know how long the stuff lasts?

 

Finished up the job. A second coat of clear, then wet sanding with 2000 grit, then polishing with rubbing compound. It is too dark for pictures now, but I will get some in the daylight tomorrow.

 

im pretty sure itll last however long you want it to? ive had mine on for a year and its still there

 

I used Krylon clear with UV protector in it to help ot hold up in the Florida sun.
