what do you guys think looks better? i'm leaning towards the niteshading, because i think it'd tie into the black/silver theme of my truck really well. opinions?

It would look tight with the silver/black theme of the truck.
Here's a model builder's tip for spray painting: Immerse the can in a pitcher of hot water for a few minutes before spraying. This will heat the paint in the can, but more importantly, it will heat the propellant, raising the pressure in the can. This will be especially helpful in that you can move the can back from the lens, allowing for more even coverage and less chance of splotchy or inconsistent coverage.
For a different effect, you might apply some masking tape (the blue painter's kind from the wall coverings section at your local home improvement store) over the clear reverse lenses. Use an Exacto knife with a #7 blade (typically considered to be the "standard" blade) to trim the excess that overlaps into the red. Use light pressure so as to not cut the plastic! Peel away the excess, and now your clear lenses are masked and will remain clear after the Niteshades is applied.
Show us some pics when you're done!
