I had to repair some of my rear reflector. I was coming apart at the top, so I glued it back. I was lucky not have many cracks in any of my lights.

The cool thing is the tint pretty much covered them all up, so you can hardly tell.

I thinking about tinting my turn signals now. Just some light smoke.

Great job, this has been on my list to do for some time.
How many coats did you give it of both Nite Shades and clear coat?

To those who wet sanded for the gloss look, do you wet sand after the nite-shades and then again after the clear coat or just after the clear coat has dried?

You wet sand after the clear coat. Some would even use Polish after this for a really shiny finish.

I didn't do this step, I was to busy getting them back on the car because I want to drive. . I may shine them up this weekend though.

Thanks for this mate. Finally got my hands on some Nite Shade Red so will do a trial on my old pair of cracked lights before I do the real deal (not great with a rattle can).

Looks great! Did the same to mine about a year ago and it holds up very well. I also shot 3 coats of clear coat over the red which I would recommend.
