2) If I opt to leave a "window", is there any guidance on masking properly/accurately? Also, will I need to sand/polish the un-painted portion of the light prior to clearing? And, if so to that, is there a time-limit to wait on sanding (I don't want to catch an edge when sanding)?

Thanks!
1) If you do the whole thing then the lights will just pretty much show red
2) Probably not, but the way I see it is to mask out the surrounding then fill the inside. Well I don't think you need to sand/polish since that part will have been masked anyway. Wondering about the time limit for sanding as well, anyone?

Planning to tackle this soon

Edit: Finally did this! Happy with results, but still need to wet sand and polish when it is fully cured these were the products that I used:


Result:
