So I did one tail the other day, and figured I'd post up the difference, and how well it worked!

I used 3/4 of a can of niteshades and have a glossy finish...the key is to wipe the tail lite down good with rubbing alcohol and don't touch the lense after wiping it to avoid oily finger prints on it! and spray many lite coats and give it time in between to tack up before applying more lite coats!...for $12.00 made a big difference...you can use a gloss clear over it after 12-24 hours of drying...I think it will look good on your red car..
