i kinda like the amber corners on your truck myself, although, the clears do make a big difference. throw in some street scene mirrors and you are set! looks good man, keep it up.

Dupont Base/Clear from a local paint place. I sprayed it with a small compressor and touch-up gun. Same paint I used on my SS tailgate cap, handle, and bezel plus my interior. It's the real-deal, not spray paint

Plastic cleaner (from the paint store) followed by sanding it with 220 up to 600, then adhesion promotor, paint, and then clear.

For the ultimate shine you can buff out the clearcoat afterwards
