so i haven't seen anyone do the tails on an 04+ yet...so here is my 07 custom tails by VHT nightshades and about 15 hours worth of my time...
step 1. - sand down the tail light
step 2. - clean with windex and a microfiber towel to remove any dust etc.
step 3. - tape off (or don't)
step 4. - i did about ten light coats of nightshades letting each coat dry about 10 min. each. i also lightly sanded after every three coats because it seemed to not be very thick.
step 5. - remove tape (keep in mind the unpainted portion is still sanded so that the clear will stick to it)
step 6. - clear with a light coat of clear, wait until tacky, and coat a little heavier this time, then wait until tacky, and coat another thicker layer. (should look wet but do not let it run) i allowed the clear to dry for about 4 hours before putting them back on the vehicle.
step 7. - put them back on your sweet ride.
step 8. - buff with 3m rubbing compound with a wheel buffer (i am planning on doing this later today, and it is supposed to give it a nice glossy shine because they look a tad dull right now, but i'm quite pleased with the outcome!)
what do you think?
