Next on the to-do list:
Window tint
Ventvisors
Teraflex 2.5" lift with shocks and spacers
Spidertrax spacers
35" tires

I used 3 coats of VHT Nite Shades. It was extremely easy. Just wash them, prep with alcohol, tape off, and spray. Wait 10 minutes between coats. I removed the brake lights but sprayed the marker/ blinkers in place. Total time 1 hour. You can use more or less coats depending on how dark you want them to be.

I'm probably also going to skip masking off the tires, and just worry about peeling off the overspray when the job is done, I've seen a vid of that and it looked pretty easy.
Yours look great BTW, nice job.

Cool, thanks man! Did you spray the inside or outside of the tail lights?

This is the first time I am using it so I'm not sure about the durability. I'm not sure about using it for a step bar. It isn't slick like paint but I would think something with some texture would be better for that use. But give it a try, if it doesn't work it only cost you $5.

Just curious if anyone has tried to use this stuff on soft top windows? I might try it.
