Did you use VHT NIGHTSHADES, or some other VHT?
That looks WAY too dark or 'solid' for Nightshades. Let'* see the can you used, and how heavy were the coats you applied?

How soon after the VHT did you clear them?
What do people use for the clear coat on VHT anyway? Because all paints are different and may react differently with each other. I'm stumped how a clear coat didn't add gloss though.
I would paint the entire light so there is no edge in the paint like you have there.

After my last coat of VHT I waited 30-45mins then applied the Duplicolor clear onto it...
What do you reccommend? Painting it??

I ordered my can from CarQuest. Maybe VHT changed their packaging, who knows... this auction looks like the can I have.

after some reading, use lacquer thinner not paint thinner
1 more can should be fine. if you need a tad extra, I have a spare can.
