If you use the testors paint make sure you use testors clear also or else the clear will wrinkle. It says this on the label for the paint but I had to find out the hard way

Default Taping the Edges on tailights

When you sprayed the lights, did you mask off the edges or just paint to the edges. 3 light coats is enough? How many clear coats? Thanks man. I appreciate it.

I masked off anything that wasn't the actual tail light and the reverse light obviously.
I did 3 medium coats and two clear coats.
