ProtoType5, Man here is an eazy way to do this. You dont need to spend a crap load of money and you dont have to worry about doing it with a can of spray paint and get over spray, or dripping. Go to walmart. You buy 3 things. Costs about $30 for it all. Plus you can use it over and over and over!
Ok first you get a cheap can of black gloss spray pain like .98cents. Then a can of Laquer Thinner $5. It's in a metal Can usually in the hardware department. Then you go to the model toy section and get the $20 air brush kit. Get a little glass jar and pour some L.T. into it then add some black spray paint to it. Then fill the little air brush container with the mixture, spray the taillights, Fog lights corner lights what ever. Comes out even. Dont need clear coat Nothing! It's easy and you can even look at airbrushing other things afterwards. Plus you dont have to wait like 3 hours for the taillights to dry or worry about them leaving finger prints. It drys in like 5 minutes! It's so easy! Once I get my car back I'll post some pics of it!
