3 years later. I still come back to refresh my mind with this how to!

[@dep7up]

How is the paint holding up after 3 years? Did you have to touch it up or remove and re apply?

[@TheBooze13]

the best instructional video i’ve seen on this thanks for the help man

[@BrandonClark563]

brian thank you!

[@taters7359]

Except for the grit of paper

[@TheBooze13]

TATERS 73 lol always some loser like you out there

[@kareemcallum4690]

i guess I'm pretty randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to stream newly released series online?

[@liamedison3984]

@Kareem Callum Try flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@mxcatkiller]

I just gotta say THANKS bro!! Followed step by step, and my lights turned out fantastic! By far the “best how” nightshade video on YT! I actually done it at first without watching anything, and wasn’t happy. I searched a few different vids. Finally founds yours, very very happy and appreciative! 👌🏻🤙🏻

[@reyrey312003]

I've done this like 4 times but I still come back to this video everytime...best instructional vht video out there 👍🏻

[@joevarvaro9140]

i followed your instructions and painted the tails on my 2012 altima. i used red vht instead of black, and meguilars compound and polish. also i had to manually buff in the compound and polish. even with those changes, the lights look AWESOME. thank you for describing the process. i followed your steps and they came out perfect. anyone looking to paint their tails just follow this guide and youll be successful. thanks again for making this.

[@malunguinho]

Well done, good explanations and visuals on why sanding gives that extra smooth finish. A light touch sanding just makes the compounding/polishing portion only needing a light touch also, less risky for burning through. Really great video, thank you!

[@johnmaldonado4488]

Specific to the tee. The best video on how to paint any vehicle taillights. And the outcome was incredible. Thank you

[@chrispenny7599]

Awesome work, the best detailed video by far! Proof that taking your time and doing it correctly will give you the best results, hard work pays off!

[@MMkail820]

Hands down best video I’ve seen on this, perfection

[@BrandonClark563]

Thanks so much! I appreciate that!

[@danieladams311]

Absolute legend mate, best video by a million miles, good effort!

[@BrandonClark563]

Daniel Adams much appreciated! Thank you!!

[@lastresort252]

What a GREAT video!!!! I had seen this already, but thinking I got mine too black, I decided to see if I could remove the clearcoat, then the VHT with brake fluid. I started by sanding the clearcoat with 600 wet, but wasn't getting very far. Then I looked at it and saw the "orange peel" affect, and realized I had just completed the 1st step of this video, so I changed course and sanded 2000 wet, then proceeded with the rest from here, and WOW, they don't look so black anymore and I managed the same reflection as you did! THANKS again for the method and instruction!!!

[@V1AbortV2]

Great attention to detail my brother...also cute lil girl! God bless 🤘

[@BrandonClark563]

V1AbortV2 thank you sir!

[@carlospelaez4101]

Followed this extremely well explained video and my 16 Lexus IS 350 tail lights turned out beautiful!!! The mirror super smooth finish it’s amazing!!! Thx again brotha!!!

[@georgecarrillo2001]

Very helpful, I'm going to experiment on the Covid face shields we have to wear at work.

[@waynekroeker9992]

Best vid by far on how to apply and have it turn out perfect. Sounds like you got a awesome family bro! God bless!

[@brucebakker7179]

Great to see a video on how to do this right, applying clear coat now, turning out great!

[@JRG_11]

If only every how to youtube video could be this specific and instructional!

[@adamlolley1836]

Man what an awesome video. I did my lights exactly like you said and wow they turned out amazing. Funny story just like you after I got the final coat of clear on I had to put my lights back on before they were totally dry. But I did the final sand and stuff and you would never know. Thanks man

[@jaxluger7161]

Thanks again for the tutorial. Did it to my tail light on my Vespa and it turned out awesome!!

[@EK-ir6uv]

Thanks for the video man. I was kicking myself in the foot after doing the initial spray and clear but it’s turning out great with the information you provided!

[@Aman-rp7yj]

Good vid for achieving great results. Worked great on my truck as well.

[@1jonnyboy4]

You did amazing with this dude! Greatly appreciate you!

[@05hemiram71]

Great work bub, getting ready to do mine when it warms up Thanks for the tips!

[@anthonycaldi7056]

Dude..Well Done! Wasn’t sure how it was going to turnout. Glad I watched part 2!

[@BrandonClark563]

anthony caldi thanks!

[@jamesduketk421]

I just used this last week on my truck. It looks fantastic. I used several light coats. No sanding and it looks like glass

[@jamesunderwood9100]

Professional quality Sir!!! Gonna try on my Civic and Frontier soon!!! Thank you!!!

[@johnhays7871]

Going through this with you now step by step. You make it look Easy, I have a 2019 Silverado and those tail lights man.... lot of angles lol

[@Paul-bf7nj]

Brandon…Great how to video. I was deciding weather to wrap my lights or do as you did. My Ford has very difficult lights to wrap so I am going to use your method. BTW… Go Cyclones! Class of 80 Thanks again for an excellent video. PC.

[@fernycervantez7248]

Great video bro! I made my lights like this today and I sprayed 5 times the black spray and it was really dark lol I couldn’t see much of the light but a red dot lol so i had to re done everything all over and I only sprayed it 3 times and they came out great! But thanks for your help brother. You got a sub

[@BrandonClark563]

Thank you! Yeah number of coats is always personal preference or how heavy the coat going on is lol glad you got them to where you like them!

[@donaldtate3372]

Audience, we all know you have skills man. Great Job✌.

[@MrAzza1479]

[@louie4316]

Excellent informative video, thanks for sharing. I'll be following your steps to a "T".

[@BrandonClark563]

Thank you! Hope it worked well for you!

[@wtfbeto1188]

LOOKS LIKE A REALLY GOOD TINT JOB.. THANKS I'LL BE DOING THE SAME TO MY TAIL-LIGHTS..

[@josevasquez7784]

Brother, that came out extremely excellent

[@CPMest81]

Cool video man, great result 👍

[@mashor7400]

This beautiful product I want them as possible. Thank you

[@1lobochris]

Man that seems like a lot of work but you did so good! 😎 I should just have you do mine LOL

[@DROPTINE]

Yours came out great, but I have watched a guy that does it for a living for more than 10 years and I have never seen him sand anything and it comes out PERFECT No orange peel look.

[@johnburden9109]

the orange peel is there. No way to avoid it. Might not show up on video, but it's there. Even if it's not, it will look BETTER wet sanded and compounded and polished.

[@kirkleaman6863]

Super nice job buddy!👌🏻

[@Imheem90]

Great video! Very good job!

[@noblemav]

Not a bad job at all “mate” I plan to do my Hyundai Kona N, so I probably went over your video about 6 times, just to make sure I get everything down pat…. Thanks Champ..👍😉👊🏻

[@saigoneze4465]

great job brandon i literally just did 6 coats on my tailights and am waiting for them to dry overnight then il wet sand them and follow your steps

[@markk4708]

I did 6 coats on my tail lights too. Waiting now for them to dry overnight as well before wet sanding. How did yours turn out?

[@bennyjsr.7117]

Looks awesome dude 👊🏽

[@bmorelikemike6514]

Hey Brandon great video man.....quick question after you used the compound...what brand of polish did you use???

[@undedmunky]

Came out great, nice video, thanks! Be sure to let things cure for a month before wax!

[@mnopx3]

Great job! Cute kid! I'll let you know how it turns out.

[@ThatOneChannelinAZ]

Another great way to make them glass is metal polish (Wheel) rub it on and buff with a sponge or rag. Makes it glass than wax it and its amazing.

[@RCbashingtheKRATON]

Thanks bro.. I just did mine and there badass

[@BrandonClark563]

RCbashing the KRATON hell Yeah anytime! Glad they turned out for ya!

[@Psilocy-ben]

Great video thank you for sharing. Do you think 2 coats would be enough for it to be uniform? Or should I do 3 and sand a lot? How easily does the VHT sand off if I put too much? I’m just looking for a very light smoke, don’t want them too dark.

[@katdaddy4]

Well done. Go Cards!!

[@nevrlow]

The baby got the sound effects for the video 😁

[@archiemegel1013]

Dude that was amazing

[@BrandonClark563]

ARCHIE MEGEL thanks!

[@TheCoco300]

Looks really good!! Question, is the clear coat necessary?

[@jordanmarshall5192]

I sprayed my tail lights and didn’t like the dull look so I was on here looking for ways to shine it up and saw your video. Would 2k high gloss clear spray work instead of the dupli-color clear coat?

[@cityslickersweet67]

Good Job Young Man

[@Tberg725]

Will drop a like just for showing people how to do this the right way, I cant even tell you how many of my friends have come to me to fix their lights because they did not think it would need sanding... the results will suck if you don't wet sand and buff these

[@CamG11]

@Brandon Clarke I have like a little fading on my lights if I sprayed over it again with the VHT one more coat you think it would cover it up ?

[@bryanbankey6728]

Any recommendations for other compounds you used before polishing? And what kinda polish did you use. I followed your video step for step and getting ready to wet sand the clear.

[@Davishackermid]

nice vid bro, thank you for sharing.

[@PunkinRB]

how long do u wait before removing the masked areas? I'm gonna do some GTR taillights for my g37 with vht- most g37s use vinyl overlays to achieve the look but I think vht will look way better

[@Ctrlwrp]

Thanks for the video dude 👌🏻

[@alexross5620]

Great vlog insightful in saying that can you please go over some other issues first issue I've done Nightshade on a bunch of my vehicles and I always get it to be a high gloss finish without clear coat but I make it a lot darker second why are you using enamel clear is it because the product is enamel based I thought the product was a lacquer base third eye also noticed that if you send it down Waiter on a month to even three down the road it will spiderweb and crack for whatever reason you pretty much got to strip it all off and start over have you ever experienced love

[@skeebles8469]

Awesome video. I need to do this to my led headlights, as they are too bright.

[@Qsfd142]

I know this comment is a year old but why do you not just adjust the level of the light? Every headlight has adjustments

[@Wolfnx]

I was at six minutes and I was really doubting the process but boy was I wrong, that came out so solid. I am about to pick up an Evo 8 and wanted to look into alternatives to $200 tail lights, which wax sealer did you go with?

[@BrandonClark563]

Thanks! I just used chemical guys butter wet wax but any wax will work

[@rga7482]

Really nice work.

[@petrezw2349]

Hi great instructions many thanks for the upload, why do you use enamel over normal laquer is there any issues using normal laqure .

[@Dirtymax2007]

Awesome video!! Can the same process be done to the headlights??

[@budspratt2425]

good job looks great

[@mrdeanv4414]

Very nice job and very informative..! What brand of clear coat did you use?

[@MisterMemo]

Thanks for this video bro!

[@ismoiladkhamov2911]

Professionally done ✅, i had one question which im struggling since this week, so i used VHT on my tail light done uh not bad , but ive covered my bumper all that plastic car parts but still vht spray dripped down, can u please tell how to remove that spray off from paint rear bumper and trunk

[@StansGrandson]

Carby Cleaner removes it with ease

[@FrostE941]

Good work man

[@lucidworx]

I have found that with fresh clear with 30-60 minutes of cure time you can use 1000 or 1500 grit sand paper then hit it with a heat gun and all the samding marks go away and you end with a super glossy finish.

[@pmaradiaga9073]

Excellent tutorial / results bro. How much total did you spend in product to accomplish this?

[@donthesheek]

Very nice methodical job............little ones talking at ya pal. 👍

[@civiliancommandosm.u.l.s.a7685]

I'm going to try this. Doesn't look that difficult, just time consuming.

[@GaragemdoCaio]

Hello, great video, just one question. Why does it need to be enamel clear coat? Thanks

[@bigaparker1977]

Looks damn good

[@AlexGarcia-xy1lv]

Very nice video thank you what type of clear coat did you use ?

[@davidlysak1123]

excellent video

[@deryklow3091]

Hey man curious,with both tail lights done with multiple coats,was 1 can more than enough?

[@ryantollefson9730]

I have some turtle wax polishing compound , would that work in the final step? Instead of compounding then polishing? Plan on doing this in a bit so I can go grab them if needed

[@schmidty0616]

I have a question and I hope u can help. I was wet sanding the vht to a matte finish. I sanded a little too much in some spots and can see the red of the tail light. But I did 3 coats of clear. Is there a way I can remove the clear down to the vht and re spray the vht?

[@schmidty0616]

Just night shaded mine earlier today. Can’t wait to wet sand and clear coat tomorrow.. I should wait 24 hours after I clear coat to sand and polish ?

[@Poontang123]

Great job

[@patmenard4928]

Whats the difference between laquer and enamel? I bought enamel but i havent used it

[@chrisandcassieclark7356]

Thanks brother

[@Dmac6969]

I did 4 good coats of the high gloss clear coat. Wet sanded to get a haze, but when I did the compound cream, I never got the gloss back

[@brandonwright6578]

For better results mute to escape the music lol good video.

[@BrandonClark563]

Brandon Wright haha thanks. Sorry bout the music I was struggling to find good music that wouldn’t get copy right strikes for a little while

[@djnacho101]

I’m using your video. Thanks bro! Did you wipe them with alcohol between tint and clear coat?

[@l.g.3775]

A lot of that orange peel/extra work was from the way you sprayed both products. Too far away, and too close in proximity to each other (overspray). But good effort for the end result, they look awesome.
