As mentioned in an earlier post, some look really bad if it isn't done right. I spent a couple of hours just wet sanding all the blemishes and the tint after it dried until it was nice and even all around.....then about 5 layers of clearcoat for a super clear look.

I say do 1-2 coats of NS, to darken them just enough to get a "dark cherry" look.

This is my guess as to what 2 coats of NS would look like. Got the tail from my dad's truck, which has 2 coats, then slightly corrected the brightness, since his truck was in the shade when I took the picture of his truck, then put it on top of yours. You could start with one coat, and see how dark it it, then go from there.


Also, I randomly PTMed the mirror cap (or tried to ). Yes, I'm a little bored...
