Did you wait in between the coats? and how long? If you don't get a matte finish, would you recommend wet sanding it anyway and then applying a clear coat afterwards? I don't want a matte finish.

If you want them to look factory, you want to take them to a paint shop and get them cleared by a professional. Just my opinion. It's a pretty minimal cost (ran me $80 in cash)

These are mine:

Great vid and they look great.

Any chance of showing us how they when actually functioning during day time?

I will be doing a following video update on my youtube channel. But it doesn't look any different. Its not hard to see at all during the day and obviously now the blinkers appear red rather than yellow

Would also like to see a functioning video, just to see how the blinkers look now

Spray painted tail lights always look cheap. Just buy TOM'S if you want them to be red.
