Sorry but that's the only picture I had. I had some tape that was the same width as the reverse light opening. Once that was covered I hit the whole light with two coats of niteshade. When that was dry I taped off the tail light area I wanted exposed and sprayed the surround to cover the chrome. The worst part was taping the exposed part. It took a while to match both lights so they looked even.
you spray painted the white part or what?

Sorry. Once the niteshade dried I taped off the red part and left the chrome strip and the edges exposed. Then I sprayed the chrome areas white. When that dried I pulled off all the tape and cleared them.

This may come out redundant but for the amount of tint that is put on via nightshade, in my experience, isn't that much. I've always done two coats and a light spray, and that has given me just as good of visibility compared to other tintings

as long as you dont over spray the lights there is no issue with night time visibility. the idea of nightshades is that it is transparent so it can be seen
