    I darken them to the right shade with the transparent black, then spray layers of clear coat with a paint gun.

    How many coats of black did you use on these? Whats the max that I can go while still being able to see the lights through them?

    I could black out a tail and still have food light transfer. I overreduce the black base so the pigments arent so close together and this particular tail has 5 coats of clear. It almost acts like a magnifine glass, thats why I put so many coats.

    Ok so what ratio of black to reducer do you do? Where can I get the same stuff you use to do this at home? Also about how much would it cost?
