smoked cab and marker lights

[ROUSHDEMON]

Hey Matt, i did both my Hummers, you should sand them for sure with a 800 grain "wet" sand paper, trust me, it makes a difference, let me know if you need any help, i'm out this weekend but I'm back on Monday.

Where did you guys get the night shade smoke paint? Thanks

Andres, I just finished putting them on my rig. I sanded them and they turned out pretty good for my first attempt. it's definitely a must for black hummers. i noticed you had your side markers done. How'd you get the back one off?

TOI-MAT - you can get it at most local Auto shops. I would try O'reillys first and then advanced auto parts. Its called VHT Nightshade and the can is purple and black.

Thanks after a little research I found it at Advanced Auto. Also found this tutorial on-line. Do you have any pictures of them finished?

any pics of the process? and finshed close up's?

I'm considering a light smoked setup. I would like to go that route casue every other set I have seen has a chrome trim ring around them.

I will try to get some picks up soon..

It worked pretty good but i did have some paint run when using the clearcoat.
I had to spray it on really thick or else it looked splotchy and when i sprayed it on thick it ran. so i was kinda in a lose lose situation but oh well it turned out pretty good. I did 3 coats of vht and 3 of clearcoat and it turned out pretty dark.

timgco- if you want them lightly smoked i would say do 1 or 2 lights coats of the vht nightshades.

I can write up exactly what i did if yall would like

I followed the instruction from my precious post (basic not professional). I figured once I purchased all the material for professional I could just buy them online already completed. I have to agree with Big Z the clear coat actually took away from the process. I decided not to clear coat after doing one. Here are some pics.
