Shades of Night Shade - Focaljet

**chavezx2** · 06-26-2008, 06:28 PM

im planning on doing my tails but what im looking for is a progression of pictures showing the different shades of night shade per coat. i did a search but didnt find what i was looking for.
thanks for any help

Your really not gonna find a exact graph showing the difference. Everyone has their own idea of how to lay down Niteshades. So each coat is different per user.

All I can offer is this pic...my wagon with niteshaded tails. It has 2 light coats of niteshade...

Mine has 4

**RUN_ZX3** · 06-26-2008, 11:55 PM

2 light coats plus 2 coats clear. I faded them so that they are darker on the edges. 20 years as a graffiti artist has given me mad can control skillz.

i used prob 5 or 6 light coats. and wet sanding in between every 3 shades. + no clear coat..

I prefer the teilight covers as they always have a gloss to them, and fit really well. And there is no fear of messing them up.

I niteshaded EVERYTHING and custom retro fitted the headlights.

and here is the back

That is 5-6 coats and high gloss clear i did a write up if anyone is interested.

I had the taillights covers on my hatch for awhile until one blew off on the highway and got ran over. IMo they are too dark. And if you use a glossy clear when niteshading, you can get a glossy finesh too...

Heres another pic...-2-3 lite coats of niteshade...I have yet to polish and clear them...

Vs. the AVS Covers from 06'

i'll have to try either the niteshade or the covers, i try some static cling window tint and i liked how it looked on the car , i just couldn't get the air bubbles out. so i gave up on that
