try wetsanding/polishing them.

ZoomZoomMFer · August 4th, 2008, 09:47 AM

you think that would work?

ItaliStang · August 4th, 2008, 10:03 AM

that would just take the tint off wouldn't it?

nah wetsanding just takes away the top like half coat i guess you could call it..all the rough spots and such...i mean ya if you wet sand the hell out of it your gonna take some off haha...i used 2000 grit before i painted ours...then the same after the first two good coats then lightly at the very end after it was completely cured....came out smooth as hell///then i used a light polishing compound to take away the minor scratches from the wetsanding

ZoomZoomMFer · August 4th, 2008, 11:08 AM

ya there is quite a bit of clear on mine, so i wouldnt be taking any paint off

weems · August 4th, 2008, 11:26 AM

ZoomZoomMFer · August 4th, 2008, 12:03 PM

weems · August 4th, 2008, 12:48 PM

ZoomZoomMFer · August 4th, 2008, 01:03 PM

BINGO! We have a winner. I've done this to many tail lights in the past. Apply niteshade then wetsand w/ 2000 grit. Clear and wetsand sand w/ 200 grit. Then polish w/ a good polishing compound and wax them to finish. It should look amazing when you're finished. Maybe I'll do a how to once my niteshade comes in and I do the ones on my Mustang.

no dude to save you trouble spray Duplicolor Clear Coat on it. Ive done many of my friends taillights including mine with the same nightshades tint spray. Spray 3-4 coats of clear coat and your good to go! Its also probably called Duplicolor truck and suv clear coat.
