It is extremely important anytime you paint something to make sure it is 100% clean and has no wax or even oil from your fingerprints on it. To do this use a plain white paper towel and some rubbing alcohol to wipe down the peice before painting. Then shake the can of nightshade well and apply very thin coats to keep it from running.
After you are satified with how dark they are and they have fully dried use 2000 grit sandpaer with soapy water to gently rough the surface up. Then after you wash of the saopy water from wet sanding them, dry them. I strongly reccomend clearing them. They truley will look better. Some have had good luck doing this with a spray can of clear. I would personally reccomend taking them to any body shop and asking them to clear them for you. Most body shops would do this for a $20.00 bill or for free if you have them doing other paint work for you at the same time.
