Default Help finshing Blacking out my tails
I just blacked my tail lights on my ram and they are really black lol. I used 3 coats of clear coat and used rubbing compound. but they look more of a flat black. The shureface is smooth but flat black. I want more of a shiny showroom finish. WHat else can i use to get that.

Flat black might not look bad, let's see them.

After rubbing compond all you do is wax them with car wax and they will be shiney.
