the niteshade came in and it got put on today...maybe some of you remember, i had covers but recently they flew off while driving. anyway, i did the cargo light and both tails. i scuffed them up a bit then did a few coats, lightly wet sanded did a few more coats, then lightly wet sanded again and applied the final coat. total there are 7 coats, 4 of them are light to medium coats of niteshade and the other 3 are clear. let me know what you think
thanks guys. and yes, it gets applied to the exterior of the lamp. prep is key with this, i know a few people who just dusted the lights and sprayed and it turned out like crap. take the time (just takes a few minutes) to wipe with alcohol and scuff them up. but like i said, most people dont go as dark as i did so its up to you. youll see after just one light layer they look 10x better
here are some pics from this morning. most of the time in the day you can see red coming through. im glad i went as heavy as i did. i didnt want that. anyway here are some before i head out of town for the rest of the day and all of tomorrow
They do indeed look awesome. I would like to try that as well. I think I'll try it on my black m/c first though--Night Runner version of a Ninja I guess!

I cant wait to do mine. I wanna just get my black on silver job done. But what I dont get is I know your supposed to sand it to get the paint to stick, but doesnt it make the surface all gritty and stuff? Like with people who paint thier grills, but how come it ends up all shiny and smooth and stuff, I just never understood it.
