NIteShades

[InFlames]

I got his JDM niteshad from SEMA. I am going to black out the taillight andl leave the signal/reverse light stock. Anyone did it before?

Please do not use nightshades (its crap) but rather this stuff. Ive had experience with both and the jdm shiz works a lot better IMO (thumb)

either you had a bad experience with niteshades or you just weren't good at applying it. Mine look great and great. Also I had my reverse light part unpainted and it looked fine. Reason is I didn't keep it was because I used a pair of MSP taillights so I can have my originals for the winter, and the MSP lights have the pink reverse part and I didn't like the pink on black. So I went back and applied a couple coats to the reverse part and enamel clearcoat.

I've used both...even the imported red spray. I've done quit a bit of rattle can painting and IMHO nightshades is crap (thumb)

Did you use any clearcoat?

first off the car is primered for paint moron,
2nd my taillights look exactly like the people that used nightshades, except i didn't pay $20+ for it
not only that nightshades is paint stupid, they just make a big deal out of it and package it as something special so that gullable consumers like you will buy into it,
i was making that statement because its sad that someone would pay so much more for the same results.

black spray paint $3
clear coat $3....total $6 and change

niteshades $20+
for the same freaking results

You do know you cant see light through spray paint right? Durrrrrrrrr

 

[chaosProtege]

yeah, spray paint is definetly opaque, nightshades is translucent. thapro1 is your bumper black on orange or is it just the way that pic is?

no the bottom of my car is primered for paint. the car is actually gold, a friend of mine just photoshopped that orange color on there

 

[Diehonda]

you can go to a hobbie store and get black spray tint for models.

I spent a whopping $5 to do my old car. Same results as Niteshades.

 

[SubXer0]

^ exactly

 

[InFlames]

I doubt black spray TINT and regular old black spray paint will have the same result...

 

[Mr. Win]

so what is it then? hobby tint paint or spray paint? Make up your mind bud.
