Minor mods from this afternoon, got bored at work...
 
I decided to tint my tails with niteshades and also added a stubby AMI antenna.

I know it's nothing big, but what do yall think?

nope, just wet sanded and buffed the final layer of the niteshades. The finish came out so well that im afraid to put the clear over it.

Thanks for all the comments guys, im glad yall like them too!

i just niteshaded my tails and was suprised how glossy and smoothe it came out like yours. A few years ago, I niteshaded a few tails for my friends and I and it came out very matte. I had to do alot of work to make them even semi gloss.

yea dude, tell me about it! i was just bs'ing with my roommate and we were talking about the old niteshades formula. it was horrible! i remember when I did the tails on my old acura tl and it took me 2 days of wetsanding and buffing and repainting and all over again before it was a satin finish.

the new formula is amazing and required so much less work. i buffed them anyway because im anal about that stuff, but im happy with how they turned out.

thanks for all the comments guys!

new formula, i stock it at my store in boca. for a while it wasn't available and they reformulated and relabeled it. now its awesome! it would have been nice back then though, it would have saved me about 15 hours.
