Gave it a shot today. I am going to have to get some better taillights. Mine were pretty beat up.

They really just appear to be new, unless you see them beside a set of stock tails. A big plus is I wet sanded everything before I cleared it. I have some nice bright backup lights now because of that.

If you pay for the stuff, I will do it. It will take me about a week to let dry, wet sand, repaint, wet sand, clear clear clear.
