Re: What have you guys used to tint the tails on your car? Pics please (Turbo Panda)

Have used Night Shades by VHT before, used it the other day on my buddies RX-7 and anothers K5 Blazer, Blazer looks like *SS since he did it himself and doesn't use tons of care. but if you take your time, apply about 5-6 EXTREMELY Light coats waiting 5-10 minutes between coats in 75+ degree temp it comes out pretty darn nice (like the RX-7 since I did it
)

I'm thinking about doing my side markers. where can you buy nightshades? I haven't seen much for tint spray around here except for the testors model tint, and I'm guessing that is ****ty.
anyone else use any other brands?

Nightshades from VHT can be ordered through Summit Racing Equipment, not in their catalog or online, but they have it, just ask for it.
Either SummitRacing.com or 1-800-230-3030, I think they sell it for $6.95 or something for a small can, enough to do a whole car worth of lights easily to Pitch black. Or the dork shops have it for like $15-$20 usually.
Good Luck, and take your time with the stuff. If you can't find it, IM Me, I can get it here pretty easily, but it's $15 a can.
