[QUOTE="SHiZNiLTi, post: 4208209, member: 561248"] Cool Monkey, Smoked tailights look badass! I don't do any wetsanding when using VHT nightshades, nor do I use clear coat... I get as close as I can to the point where it's [B]ALMOST[/B] about to run. I do about 3-4 [B]thick[/B] coats. If you spray it too far away the finish doesnt look glossy, it's almost a type of matte finish. IMO it's all about the technique you use when spraying it on.

If your gonna smoke your headlights make sure you have some HID's installed because it definatly cuts down on light output. With my smoked headlights and tinted front windshield it was kinda hard to see at night.
