I used this japanese spray on my taillights that make them smoked and it worked well but was wondering if I did it correctly. I taped off everything around the light and just sprayed it on the outside. Is this right or should I have sprayed the inside. The directions are in japanese so I cant read them.

Thanks ahead of time.

 

umm...spraying on the outside will lead to the peeling effect as seen on some rice-a-roni's...Why not an overlay?

 

spray on outside

 

I sprayed the taillights on my previous car, CandyApple Red. I sprayed it on the outside, and it didn't peel or anything. I didn't put on a clearcoat, either (though I should have, in retrospect). They faded slighty after a couple years, but I could have just sprayed more on to fix it. You did it correctly.

 

What clear coat would I put on?

 

Priming it isn't a must?

 

Done correctly will be just as shiny and glossy as the paint and will not fade or peel. I spray tinted both of my previous cars, but for some reason went with overlays on the G. I wish they were available in a darker tint, but at least I have the option of taking them off.
Good luck.

 

you can always double it .

1- thread is almost worthless without pics.

2- this thread is better suited in the body/exterior/interior/lighting forum, which it has been moved. original poster had it in the coupe forum, which is great, but it belongs here
