Just did my extra set of tail lights in all red. First time doing it, but I used the VHT nightshades. Sanded the tail lights with 1000, sprayed 3 coats of red, sanded with 2000, cleared twice. Came out darker than I was hoping, but that could be due to the overcast weather.

Products used. Disregard the Rustoleum clear and use the SprayMax 2k clear. I will snap a pic if anyone wants.
OEM amber tail:
Wax and grease remover:
600 grit:
Wetsand everything:
Final product after sanding. Everything should be dull:
Tape off:
Wax and grease remover again:
Tack the tail:
1st coat:
2nd coat:
Final coat of color. You can see the blended area. I don't tape off the amber as it leaves a hard line and I will be clearing so the blend wont be visible.
Wetsanded again w/ 2000 grit and ready for clear:
Clear applied:
Wetsanded w/ 2000 grit and buffed:
