Looks good. 'Bout the same darkness as mine. I think I did 3 coats of VHT, and 3 of clear.

I did mine this weekend. Look great. I must say though, that I probably added 4 or so coats of nightshades, and it got dark awful fast. They might be too dark, kinda worried I might be paying for it.

So if you plan on doing this, keep the 3 coats, slap em on the truck, and see what you think before going darker. I would have stopped at 3 if I would have done that.

Nice work there, but this mode is better to do it from the interior, you put your taillight in the oven to open it, and spray the interior of the light, i won't lose darkness in time this way and the finish is more stock like.
