Default Broke out the Nightshade

I had a few days off and decided to continue in operation "black out." I put a couple of shades of VHT nightshade on my taillights and third brake light. Let me know what you think!

Thanks guys! I had some Clemson helmet stickers laying around and decided I wanted to do something a little different. I didn't want to go too dark on the tails though because the cops in my town are bored and look for things to nitpick about, so the paws came out as more of a watermark look, which I still thought looked good.

Not something I would do, but I like that you didn't go too dark with the tint. You got the shade perfect.

I ended up doing 2 coats of nightshade and 3 coats clear. The only thing is, I already had the Harley Davidson taillights on it, so they already had a little tint to them compared to stock, so that is just something you should take in to consideration. I like that it still gave it a little bit of a reflective red hue though.

Thanks! Yeah, I was torn between putting the paws on and not for a couple of days but finally just decided to go for it and I like the way it ended up coming out...just a real subtle detail.

Looks cool! I would love to have the Harley rear tails.
