Now I've seen lots of cars with this done and the finsih is glossy, what would I use to polish them up without taking the paint off? I've tried 2000grit paper but it didnt work too well. Would I be able to put a clear coat over them maybe? Any help would be choice.CheersGav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI PSI Member 1,586 Member For: 18y 9m 8d Gender: Male Location: Central Queensland Posted 07/07/08 11:06 AM Share Posted 07/07/08 11:06 AM I used to mix a very small amount of black in with clear and spray the lights. They were glossy. The more coats the darker they got. Light brightness was still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
