did you guys sand with a high grit sand paper after a few coats?

 

buMp BUMp BUMP!!

 

I didn't sand between coats or after.

 

i wet-sanded with very fine grit before the first coat, but that's it.....

 

what exactly are nightshades? Sorry if this is a dumb newbie question

 

it's like a tint paint to paint your side markers

 

yeah well i just painted all my side markers and there is soo much swirly marks like drips..so im going to sand it tommorow or use some nail polish removal or something to get it nice and even..any suggestions?

 

Here's what I did to tint my tail lights.

Cleaned my tail lights and wet sanded it. Sprayed a coat of nightshade from about 8 to 10 inches away going right to left. I let it dry and sprayed another coat going in the same direction. I put about 4 - 5 coats and 3 clearcoats on top. I also let the clearcoat dry in between coats.

 

yea thats how i did it so far...didn't do the clearcoat yet..but i have a ton of swirls/drip marks on the lights

 

if you dont like the way the it turned out, you can wet sand the nightshade off the lights and do over. i have done this before with success. but before you do this, try wet sanding with 1000 or greater and finishing off with rubbing compound - this might get rid of the "drips" (i think you might be describing "orange peel"?) and the swirls.

when i did a bad spray job, i used 600 to remove the nightshade; finished the plastic lens with with 800, 1000, & 1200; then repainted.
