And you don't *need* to do lots of little coats.
Consider it as passes. 1 pass over it will only tint it very slightly. 2 passes will deepen the tint, 3 passes will make it even darker etc... And you do the passes in different directions... maybe one is "up-down", the second is "side-to-side", and further passes are at diagonals.
U can do these passes on after another AND THEN when yer done you allow it to sit for a day or two. If when it's all dry you don't like the tint, you just do another couple passes & let it sit again. Keeping in mind you can only make it darker, you canno't remove this stuff.
IMO 2-3 coats/passes is ideal. 2 leaves red in the lamp only it's deep & not as "stand-outy". 3 makes it quite dark and removes a lot of the "texture" to the lamp.
I just did this with my Euros so it's not like I'm talking out of my a$$. Look for pics later tonight if you're interested.
check yah later

Clean surface with a window or glass cleaner. Shake can for one minute after the ball in the can begins to rattle. Agitate can well. Shake for one minute after marble is heard. Hold can 12 inches away from the lens. Apply in a crosshatch motion, be sure to spray past the lens so that the corners and ends are evenly covered. Apply subsequent coats approximately 10 minutes apart, usually two or three coats will achieve desired look. VHT NITE SHADES should be dry to the touch in about an hour and completely dry overnight. Do not reinstall until coating is completely dry. Apply VHT NITE SHADES to the outside of the lens cover only. Remove lens cover from the vehicle before applying.
