A guy shows his results with it in this thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...hlight=Redding it turns out super glossy before polishing. As for hoiw well the lights work through the paint, mine are quite a bit darker and you can still se them really well.
thanks for that info. i dont believe the clear i used has UV protection, i will probably just put another coat or two then with uv protection clear and hope it keeps it nice and red in the future.
