[Nate's Alero]

[worknprog.99]

[Nate's Alero]

[worknprog.99]

i used like 10 or more thin layers of nightshades and then today had a urithane gloss coat put on

[Nate's Alero]

ebay.....

[heineck]

aye so its pretty easy right? i got a can comin in the mail, how long did it take u to do em?

[worknprog.99]

easy
1. remove tails
2. clean with a little alcohol
3. apply thin coats of night shades in even swipes approx. 6- 8 inches above tail.
4. let coats dry
5. keep repeating coats till desired darkness.
6. either sand with really high grid wetsand and polish or have a urithane finish like mine...(drove around with night shades only no sanding or urithane for about 6 months it just looks "flat black")
7. put back it and admire lol

[heineck]

Work,
Again, good work. I have just picked up my can of niteshades at advanced auto parts, (sorry adria, autozone didnt have it). Plan on doing mine tomorrow.

[99alerogirl]

advance has it? sweet... maybe i'll go there in my uniform and see what they say......

[PappaSmurf]

Yeah that would be fun. LMAO
They didnt have it at the store near where I live but I am down here at my parents for the week and just stopped in to see what they had, and lo and behold the last can of niteshades. LOL
I am just wondering how much of it I am actually going to use if i spray mine like work said with 10 coats. Maybe I should go back and see if they have another can...LOL

How much time did you wait between coats and for the final dry time?

[worknprog.99]

How much time did you wait between coats and for the final dry time?

about 2-3 minutes in between coats and i didnt put them back on the car till the next morning... and only two hours after the urithane clear

[Coldfire]

not usually a fan of tinted tails but those look pretty sweet!

thanks :)
yeah i like them alot beter now than before the clear urithane coat

[clutch1]

I'd worry about peeling eventually if you didn't sand the tails before shooting niteshade, but I've never doe it so I dunno how tough the stuff is. Looks like it turned out really good though!

[worknprog.99]

yeah the nightshades goes on like primer does and feels the same way lol... havent had any pronblems yet!!! :)

[AlbinoMonkeyRat]

you did exactly what I tell n00bs when they tint their tails! You did a great job. :)
