That is a can of nite shades right? That does look really gray. Mine came out dull when I painted mine but they were black. I would give a few coats a clear a shot to see if it turns black....its still weird though. I have plenty of the stuff left since I only wanted to paint my rear markers. Let me know.
Also 5 coats is a lot. I did 3 and mine are pretty dark. The clear really made them pop. I wetsanded with 2000 grit to finish them off.

1st off, they sell smoked clear corners now, not black, but they look really nice
2nd, those are the easiest lights to remove from a 3rd gen, each has 2 little clips, why did u bother taping all that off and still prob got overspray on the car.
3rd, i did 3 coats on my taillights and one coat of clear and they are pitch mother f-in black and shiney

i have 2 cans of vht nightshade. i just didnt feel like takin them out lol...i kept puttin more n more coats figuring it might turn them black but my theory was wrong..luckily i have extra marker lights. the clear i used turned out horrible and its cloudy and bubbly cuz its a crappy clear so imma just put the extra markers in n not worry bout the nightshading lol.

OK OK OK!
Is it a fresh bottle? Because I do this for a lot of people and I know when I get past about 2/3's of a bottle it starts shooting a white'ish grey and after it dries, it cracks a little...
Try really shaking up a new can and see if that doesnt help! I have had GREAT turnouts on a lot of peoples cars including my own with this stuff!

Why not try wet sanding and starting over with a new can?
