Everyone with Nightshaded tail lights in here......

What brand of clear coat do you guys use to make the tail lights glossy? I've been using Krylon Clear Coat Enamel, but it doesn't work very well. I want my lights to have that glossy look to them.

I did 3 coats on my turn signals housing (clear corners, not stock). Betweene very coat, I would wet sand them with 600grit (I think it was 600, may have been finer). When it came to the 3rd coat, I put it on lighter than the rest, and once it got kinda tacky, sprayed on my clearcoat. Came out nice. Has a nice shine to it, but not too much. I'll try and get pics later today if you want.
