looks good glad to see you finally did it! told you it would look great on red! how many coats did u use? how about clear?
if you are going to sand it, take your time. the last thing you want is to go through the clear. give it a few days to start to cure too.
haha yea their pretty orange peely. i dont remember how many coats of nightshades, i wet sanded some off because it was WAY too dark. clear i used about 5, i figured i'll wet sand and hand buff off almost 2 by the time im done. i just went out with my dad to see how the light shines through ( its finally dark ) brake lights , blinkers and driving lights are fine, reverse's are a little dark. i'll definalty take my time, i have alot of 2000 grit from my rims that i didnt use. that should be fine.
im kinda worryed about the front turn signals, getting them out, and the light shineing through, i'll probally go a little littler i guess. thanks for the comments.
edit: they're kinda hazy under neath, i know they werent like that before the clear, so im hopeing wet sanded AND hand buffing them will help it. i know i can get rid of the orange peel, but the haze is just in a few spots.

thanks you can undo, i sanded ALOT off. paint thinner will probally work faster but i'd just use sand paper.
should i even do the 3rd brake light? it kinda blends in.
thanks gilb :banana:
