I am thinking about picking up a can of this overpriced paint this weekend and was wondering who has used it. Also, how do you remove the taillights and do yuo spray the insides? Not the outsides correct? Can this paint be used on the headlights to?

i thought it was to be used on the inside of the lenses. could be wrong tho. ive never heard of this stuff being good, everyone said it was very like "blotchy".. like the spray pattern wasnt even and shit like that.. Usually people have body shops do em.. then they clear it also.. beats me..

dont bother with that stuff..go get some krylon fusion gloss black and krylon fusion clear...rough the lights up with a red scothbrite pad, then paint 2 layers of black, and 6-7 coats of clear..hold the can about 8" away from the lights and do the light the long way, making about 5 pases..i did mine yesterday..i could wetsand them, but for now they are fine

i used nightshades on my tails and head lights. pics in my profile. it worked fine. goes on the outside. whatever you do DO NOT sand or rough up your lights. clean em and spray. light coats. thats it.

I want to tint to my color of my truck! I'll pick up a can and experiment on my stock POS headlights.
