i forget how many layers i put on exactly, just kind of kept going until I got it to the darkness I wanted. also, dont follow the instructions on the can. keep spraying very lightly until you get the darkness you want, instead of doing one layer at a time with however much time in between. I did it my way (without stopping) and it came out nice and glossy, so no orange peel, and no clear coat needed!

and i see you're from palm bay/Melbourne!! nice!

Looks great I've been thinking about doing the same with mine. How bright do the lights look with them switched on at night ?

So did the cop make you remove the tint ? I just got some vinyl film tint on mine, looks great, but I'm always scared the cops will want me to remove them.

I'm actually thinking of changing my blacked out sidemarkers on the fender, to red, since I have a black and red theme
What do you think?
