3 coats is as dark as you ever want to go, or no light will shine through at all.
when he did the close up of 3 coats and 2, thats when i made up my mind how far i was going. even at 2 coats it looked so fdark till wet sanded and buffed out.
no coats yet.
one coat.
and 2 scared the hell out of me for a while. till i wet sanded and buffed, then i was happy as can be.
the masking tape shows just how much was put on too.
i was all over regalgs.org's board looking at tinted tails, and from what i saw i liked the lighter look better with the reverse lights masked off so they still worked.
mine came out more like that guy "flip" who used to paint them the right way with clear and black tint added to it.
seen some of his regal tail light work, looked sharp. and was what i was after. without the cost of course lol
