Clearcoat them well or they will look like hell in a few years. One of the local guys up here did the redding out and sanding himself, and then took the lights to a shop for the clear coat. They look OEM

Togue Factory just did mine. I shipped my tails to them, they painted them and sent them back in less than 10 days. They could have done it faster if I wanted ones they had already painted but I was nervous that they might have unknown condensation problems as mine did previously. I haven't yet installed them but they look good. I would recommend them as mine were previously redded out with overlay that looked crappy though professionally done and I was to scared to paint mine myself.

and when you do the final clear coat polish, you will end up with the same type of light scratches-- use polishing compound to remove those, and then follow up with the wax/sealer of your choice.

Anyone have any experience using acrylic enamel clear over VHT? I know they can react to paints sometimes and ruin your work, but its also the strongest. I find acrylic laqueur never hardens quite hard enough.
