well, keep in mind, i am a painter in a body shop. so the materials i used are professional grade. i used DuPont, cuz thats what we have.
step 1: remove tail lights
step 2: mask off tail light housing for no overspray
step 3: dry sand, scuff, or wet sand with minimal of 800 grit sandpaper, anything more could/will leave scratches, you are only trying to create adhesion for the clear. if you use a scuff pad, make sure it is a gray pad and not red; gray is rated 600 grit+ where as red is 320-400 grit (lower grit leaves harsher scratches)
step 4: tint the clear with black, start with small amounts, you can always make it darker, but once its dark, you cant go lighter again.
step 5: spray 2 good coats of clear
step 6: go over your final coat with non-tinted clear, only makes it easier to wet sand and buff
well, i hope that helped. it is possible to spray bomb them, but you will not recieve the desired look and may lack quality
