X2...I used the Testors clear instead. Cannot be said enough that prep work and wet sanding between each coat is key...rush and it will turn out like shit.

Good luck!

They have red tint that looks great as well. More so over clear taillights.

yeah im not sure how much its would cost to get a body shop to do clear coat it but id rather do it myself if i can..Thanks guys! Someone on here used the dupicolor metal cast red and it came out really well so we'll see. gotta wait for a warmer day...Im going to do two coats of red maybe three and the same with the clear one coat of tint(maybe).

What did you spray that with? That's exactly what I'm wanting to do to mine, but with shaded reverse lights.
