yea i sprayed mine with just 2 coats. i just sprayed over everything and my reverse lights still light up my garage door pretty good. you can take out the whole housing but im pretty sure the reverse part doesn't come out. i should have some night pics in my profile.

Another question...did you just tape off your reverse lights or pull the housing out?
I just taped if off. I got mine at advanced auto for 8.70 a can I think which I used half the can.
