Taillights - sanded and painted with tinted clearcoat I sanded my taillights with 400 and then 600 grit wet. Then I mixed some tinted clearcoat and sprayed a few coats.... if you do this, paint both at the same time or you'll get a different shade left/right....
This is a piece of cake, took about 2hrs incl cleaning the tools....I can't believe I waited so long to do this.... headlights are next, of course with almost no tint...
Headlights:
Same process.... wetsanded with 400 and 600, wax and grease remover, tinted clear and sprayed to coats on the headlights:
.
.
And four coats on these....I drove this car last night and the light was still very bright. A lot brighter than with the yellow crud on the headlights....
