Ok so yesterday (3/7/11) about 330pm about 63 Degrees I decided to tint my clear corners and accessory lights on front bumper with VHT Nightshade purchased from O'rilieys... I removed the corners and accessory lights and prepd them in my garage(cleaned,removed greese, let sit for a bit (5 min) did my accessory lights, turned out great. Then I did my clear corners 1 coat dry time about 10-15 min I checked them out and one of them cracked alot. (like when plastic is really old and heat cracked) so I have no idea as to why it cracked and it kinda pisses me off cuz thats $70 down the drain. That corner did have a dime size spot of moisture in it, Is it possible that the moisture caused the corner to crack? If anybody knows why it would have happened plz let me know so I can avoid it next time

I had to put them back on the car since they are the only ones I have. It doesnt look bad till u get close or at night when the bulb is lit

that definately doesn't look like the corner is cracked at all. i am about 99.7432% sure thats the nightshades that is 'rippled/cracked' not the corner.. and thats from improper prep or moisture.
