    Question Tips for using VHT Nightshades

    I am gonna smoke the plastic trim on the headlight covers and the grille and possibly the turn signals tomorrow to better match the darker "JDM" corners I have. Any tips for using this stuff? I assume you just coat everything nice and even like you would with any spray paint. Do I need to clear coat it or anything? Also, can a few of you throw up some pics/close ups of your car with Nightshades on? Thanks!

    i say to sand it a little bit to get a smoother surface to help it stick better. A clear coat does change how the look is but it also protects it from chipping off right away. As far as coats, spray lightly and let it dry and see if you like it or not. You got to be patient with with the coats or else it might come out darker than you want it.

    Here's a "HOW TO" I've done for my last car.......It's located on my own Store Forum.

    Summit racing has it too!
    I sell it as well, but only to Canadians due to cross border regulations for paint.....I can't ship across the border for "dangerous" items such as aresols, sorry.
