Default Tinted the tail lights...

Took a few hours, still need to wet sand and buff. But you get the point. I plan on doing the reflectors when I figure out how to take um off easily lol.

Looks good! I just did mine this weekend too. Mask off you side reflectors with masking tape and masking paper or newspaper. I used news paper and it woked fine. Just make sure you cover enough area so you dont get any overspray.

Multiple thin coats and let each coat dry completely. Shouldn't run.

Thanks, I got um done today when it was warmer.

What I did was wet sand the tails with 1500. Then I sprayed my coats. Well I didnt use any clear coat and it has been 24 hours. They shine great but there are a few sand scratches in them. What do I need to do to get this out? I dont want to re do them because as I said they shine great, just if you look at the irght angle you can see the scratches. Can I use 2000 and wet sand over the night shade? I know if I do this I will then need to clear coat correct? I do need to use enamel clear coat dont I?
