On my Mazda 6 I did the outside with NiteShades and then lots of clear over the top. The car wasn't garaged and after a year the nice smoke color turned to a faded brown and the clear started cracking. I figure going with PPG paint applied by a body shop I should get the same longevity as the paint on the car. BTW you can't bake the tails on this car. They are fusion welded shut so if you want to do the inside you need to cut them open and silicone back together and hope for the best. The results look good when the trunk is closed but when open you can see the cut line.
