My main reason for this topic is because I want to see how many layers of tint or nightshades people did for the effect. I have seen cars with super black tinted lights and other cars with just a light gray color.

 

I used VHT Niteshades and covered it with a UV protective clearcoat. I used 9 or 10 ultra light coats. I did EXTREMELY light dustings though, so it would hardly be a relevant number. If I had to compare, I would say that was about like 3 regular coats.

Same number of coats, left is wet sanded and buffed, right is as sprayed.

 

As a professional, I don't use VHT nightshades at all and use a true automotive clearcoat and paint toners.
