Came out so good I did not even have to clear coat them.
What grit sandpaper did you use? I'm doing mine sometime this week.

yeah, for the tails, I taped off the areas I didnt want to paint, held the light under running water and just sanded the other parts. Just enough to make the surface dull. Hit it with two coats of night shade and that was dark enough for me. You can still see the reflectors when light hits it, but they are hidden otherwise.
