Ok, I just got done spraying down my tails with nightshades and I'm pretty impressed with how well I managed to get an even coat on them. Only problem, even with the clear coat they still show up a bit matte looking.

I've heard buffing them is the best and obviously recommended step in tinting the lights, but I don't own any sort of power buffer. Should I invest in one, or just take it to some detail shop to be done with real quick?

Another thing, I've heard it's best to let the paint cure for 30 days and all before buffing. I don't mind waiting, but is this advisable?

One last thing, if I do buy a buffer, any recommendations or which buffing product I should get?

 

mine are the same as yours tinted and still look matte
i personally like the look
just wax them ?
turtle wax i heard

 

did you clear coat them? that would help with the matt look.

use the search feature there are hundreds of how to threads on this subject

 

he said he did clear coat them...maybe you need more clearcoat...did you wetsand before the clear? i wetsanded with 2000grit b4 i cleared...shiny...but the shop that cleared mine left a few "milky" spots which #%$$ed me off...
