I wasn't happy with the VHT Nightshades paint I put on my tails, so I had a professional body shop take off the Nightshades and paint them. Here are the results - I'm much happier with the outcome.

Hopefully this will help anyone else who is considering Nightshades.

clean, but man that's dark! what percentage of light is able to shine through that?

They both look good, and the same. Maybe I can't see the difference in just a pic. Anyway, when you did your VHT, did u wet sand then polish them after? That is basically the same as any pro would do. I did mine and they look better then what a friend had professionally done?

you got yours straight murdered out! LOL. Looks good tho. I got mine professionally done too, came out great too. I did a shade or two lighter tho... I my IS is in SFP so it stands out enough.

Def get them reflectors to match

If you look closely, the VHT is like matte and not as dark as the paint. Looks a lot better painted

I'm also curious to hear if the OP wet sanded the VHT nightshade coating. That should get you the glossy look if that's your aim.
