I tinted my taillights about 2 months ago, they turned out great and have held up well. However, they are not as shiny as I'd like them. They looked real shiny after each coat, but when I put the clearcoat on the shininess disappeared. Can I add another coat of the nightshade stuff without appling the clearcoat to get that shiny appearance and have them hold up???

use the DupliColor wheel clear coat, turns out MUCH better. tinted my S-10 tails about 2 years ago and they still look like new (minus the time we were drinkin and it was backed up a little to close to the fire and a melted em just a little lol...please no redneck comments on that one!)

wet sanding. nothing to do with the clear coat.

wetsand with 1000 then 2000 until it looks smooth no little bumps or indents....then buff with 3m rubbing compound and polish....using a drill attahcment buffer works amazing.

Wetsanding will just take the orangeppel and dirt out of the clear. Buff them using a compound and finish with a polish.

Spray on a heavy clear coat, then sand with 2000 grit, then polish and you're good
