    Blacked-out Lights

    Anybody have any tips on this? Or maybe a shop in the Southern California area that can do this?

    DONT use nightshades.
    ok im know im gonna get flamed for this... but nightshades does turn purple on lights that sit in the UV rays of the sun for extended periods durring the day.
    Honestly, have a paint shop do them.. or try to get in touch with Sprayed99. aka Danny.. IMO.. he's the best non body shop guy to do that type of job.. and he's worth every penny you spend.. had mine done over a year ago.. still PERFECT.

    I used nightshade and cleared over it, waxed it when I did the car.... had this setup for about 3 years and never had a problem. Was never garage kept. The key is to do very thin coats. Just mist it. I think I did 5-7 then 3 coats of clear. Wetsand with 1200 really quick and polish it out with rubbing compound.

    Don't use night shades. Have someone do them who has 100s of pairs under their belt. Danny or Me would be a good choice.
