Parts/Tools Required

Supplies needed:
(2) Cans VHT Nite-Shade (Summit Racing or from AutoZone or Oriellys)
(1) 3m Scuff Pad (advance auto)
(1) Can Clear Coat (Some people use Duplicolor Truck/SUV Clear Coat, apply generous coats and use quality stuff! Let me know if you've used anything you'd recommend for long lasting shine.)
(1) Windex / Similar Product
(1) Microfiber (recommended but not mandatory)

Steps

Difficulty: Easy
Time: 1-2 hours application. (A lot of downtime waiting for it to dry.) + 6 Hours for final dry.

** Note: 2 Cans are recommended so that you dont run out in mid project, however you may not need the 2nd can, the amount used varys per application. In situation, I used both to the last drop. I'd say play it safe for the extra $10. **

Steps:
1) Remove parts to be blacked out.

2) Clean all parts with windex and microfiber.

3) Scuff with 3M Scuff pad to prep surface.

4) Wipe excess dust with microfiber.

5) Place 2-piece items side by side, (ie taillights, passenger side corners... etc.)

6) Spray even short bursts across both items as if they were one item to ensure even coating.

7) Wait until the Nite Shades becomes tacky and repeat until desired darkness is reached ( I used about 6, but coat thickness varies, so dont use that as a gauge.)

8) Upon completion of Nite Shades wait about 30 minutes for it to semi-dry, then begin to apply clear coat spray. *Note: When I applied the first coat, I lost most gloss of the nite shades, dont be discouraged, wait til tacky and apply again, repeat until shine is restored.*

9) Wait roughly 6 hours before putting parts back in their original place on vehicle.

10) Drool at your finished job and await mass compliments.

FINISHED PRODUCT:

[This shot shows that the stockers still show through in the right lighting, but can also seem BLACK as well.]
