VHT Nightshade

[Mark]

For those that might be interested, NAPA now sells the VHT line of paints including Nightshade

 

[patsti]

yeah advanced auto parts sells it too... and autozone can get it. That stuff is a PIA to get off/never comes off without sanding!

 

[Mark]

i would hope so. that's kinda the point right?

 

[patsti]

not if you over do it! haha my expedition had 3 coats and was black as night!

 

[Mark]

heavy coats? they say 3 light coats on the can...

 

[Mark]

wanna help me out with it next week?

 

[Nate]

Night shades is FAIL. Cheap and dark as heck.

Napa will also make you up a can of "tinting" spray. They use a mix of black paint and automotive grade clear coat. Wet sand and clean down the lights you intend to tint. Start laying down layers till its as dark as you want. Then you can a good base of clearcoat then you can buff to a shine, and it will leave you with a "smoked" look that's not too dark/black.

 

[Mark]

soooo....you're helping me next week?

 

[Nate]

Whatcha tinting?

 

[Mark]

[Nate]

Might be able to help you this weekend. I work sat, but might have the day off Sunday. You have a heated place to do this?

 

[Mark]

[Nate]

Well that might work.... Im off next wed too. Let me know.

 

[Mark]

[Stein]

I want to tint my fender lights and a bit on the tails... Let me know how that paint mix comes out.

you can also just use the whole can of VHT if you want them dark as hell.

Eff that

All you need is 600 grit, 98 cent walmart flat black, some nice clear coat, 1000 grit, and a buffing wheel

A steady hand wouldnt hurt either =P
