I used vht on all my lights except the headlights and they came out great. It's all about preparation and spraying temperature. If done right it will be just want you want.ctsboiha said:

There's alot of videos on YouTube just use your best judgement on which you choose to follow. Or google your ass off for more info. Wet sanding before is a MUST, after is up to you but highly recommended and a few coats of clear coat to protect the vht for a longer period of time from the sun.ctsboiha said:
If I was doing it I would start with 180 grit paper than 300, 500 and 1000. Than wet sand with with 1500 and 2000. You could keep going up but 2k is enough in my opinion than clean it with an all purpose cleaner. I'm not familiar with the product your using but if spay an adhesion promoter on the surface first! If the product doesn't have a promoter mixed in. Follow the directions you should wait between 5- 15 minutes between coats. Lastly clear coat never hurt anybody spray some on if you want to it can only make it better.
I am on the other side of the fence. I have painted a million things in my life with great success. For some reason tho, VHT seems to wanna make my life miserable. I've done hours of prep on lights and usually had them fail. I just ordered a tail light tint and will be getting it this week. I will try it and let you guys know how it turns out.
