I did on the 3rd brake light because I rushed it some and it started to run so I wet sanded it down real good and redid it. But on the 2 bottom tails I did not sand, just cleaned them real good and applied one thin coat at the time. I allowed about 45 mins to dry between coats. I ended up with 4 coats and the lights shine through great!

Looks nice man. I have a quick favor to ask you, would you mind taking a picture of the tails when the lights are and with brakes not applied and applied? I want to do the same but my dad doesn't think you can see through it enough. haha. thanks

I want a smoked look, but not totally blacked out, you got any pics with the brakes on to see how much light shows through?

What was that 3 coats?
