I am not an expert on such subjects but the use of this product has been covered a handful of times before... a search my find an answer to your question.

Just thought I would reply mainly to mention that this product is intended for off street use. It could risk voiding or compromising your insurance, and may run you the risk of having your car defected by the Police.

As long as you know this.

no problem man
personally i dont really think it matters how long between coats, as long as its touch dry before the next coat you give it

just completed night shading will wait till they dry only did 3 light coats very light on the first coat
at the moment it depends on where you look to see how dark they are.
seem to look pretty friken awesome at the moment

Give em a wet sand, then give em another coat, and one more wet sand, they will look bloody amazing.

ill wait 24 hours and give it a go it would have to be an incredibly light sand though is this just to remove the gloss.
have you done this

When i wetsanded mine, it gave them an even gloss, they are dark but shiny.

yeah i didnt wait long at all between my coats, but then again my indicators look like ****, real uneven and such
gotta re-do them soon, add it to the list

Looks the goods man!
Depends on the personally opinion of darkness but i would go a bit darker!
Best thing to have done,get a clear sheet of perspex and apply coats until you are satisfied then make sure you have counted the coats you desire.
Next,when the nightshade has flashed off (dried between coats), apply 2pak clear to make them really look the goods!
Im gonna do more research into this method first and perfect it so i can start doing it professionally for members and give a tint rating from 0-100% so people know what level they want.
I will also try and make my own tint aswell so i'll keep everyone posted on it.

man that looks smick, leave it dry for a few days and give it a polish, they come up nice and shiney

looks good man, if you go a bit darker which i recon yoou should, it should cover up that streaky patchy effect which shows your spray lines etc

got spares galore just waiting till all the lights are done to put them in im putting my standard lights back in tomorrow so i can get started

only way I could get decent red light out of mine was to buy the clustered LED globes.... otherwise all is pink.

your car will look sweeter if you tint them mate, and the garnish looks cool

looks very nice mate! ive been thinking about doing similar to mine... just hope cops dont like it as much as us! haha
