Thanx to USMC0311 :thumbup:  He had fun moddin' Darren's WBH @ Bratfest V





Clean surface with a window or glass cleaner. Shake can for one minute after the ball in the can begins to rattle. Agitate can well. Shake for one minute after marble is heard. Hold can 12 inches away from the lens. Apply in a crosshatch motion, be sure to spray past the lens so that the corners and ends are evenly covered. Apply subsequent coats approximately 10 minutes apart, usually two or three coats will achieve desired look. VHT NITE SHADES should be dry to the touch in about an hour and completely dry overnight. Do not reinstall until coating is completely dry. Apply VHT NITE SHADES to the outside of the lens cover only. Remove lens cover from the vehicle before applying. VHT NITE SHADES is a transparent coating, apply in smooth, even strokes approximately 3 minutes apart. Apply thin coats until a desired darkness is achieved usually two or three coats is sufficient.

VHT Nite-Shades is a transparent black tail light lens coating for creating a custom European styling. When applied to tail lights, fog lights or turn indicators, VHT Nite-Shades appears black until they are lit, then the natural red color appears. Recommended for off road use. Warning: Once applied to plastic lens, SP-999 is not able to be satisfactorily removed.

Sorry to bump...

Has anyone done this to an 07+ avalanche?  I would like to see pictures of it close up, and maybe a distance shot of the whole back-end of the truck.

I really love the look of tinted taillights, but I also want the brake lights to be as functional as possible.  That's why I just don't think I can make myself cover up the part where the brake light shows through, for safety purposes.

Is this done with clear coat?  It looks shiny;  I'll be picking up a can of the tint and clear coat soon.
