That sucks bad guys. Like I said in the original post, I ordered mine here: http://www.stevensautoglaze.com/nati...o/niteshds.htm and got in that same week.

But even now I see THEY are out of stock too. Maybe a supply problem? I dunno. You guys just make it too damn popular!

Davedavetc: Looking at that picture it says 7 oz. (Standard spraypaint can size methinks).

Ok, here is a great question for myself and other members who venture into this little project..

How many cans, on average, does it take to complete each type of light (ie. Tails, Brake & Mirror)

I would say 2 cans for both tail lights. I ended up buying 3 but 2 was just enough.

ill just update the pix since its soo huge... and here is what i used...

1 can of that can smoke both tails, the third brake light, both turn signal and the emblems (scion and tC)... in my case it wasnt enough since i over sprayed it just on my emblems... haha... but 1 of 40 ml (i guess) should be enough to finish them...

heres the end product...

Clear coat or two, wet sand with at least 2000 grit sandpaper, clear coat, wet sand. I found wet sanding to be hard but I painted mine off the car and I found out later I didn't use as much water as I should have. So use a lot of water.
