my only advice is do them on the truck. and just mask the truck with newspaper. and do light coats. but for 10 bucks you cant beat it

I'll do it for you, you just pay for the shipping costs and the cost of supplies.

I did mine, very easy to do. Save yourself some money and feel proud....


[1] Remove taillights
[2] Wash with warm soap and water, degreaser soap of some type
[3] Taped off back up lights using automotive performance 3M green tape (has finest paint line) if you want reverse not to be tinted.
[4] Soft wet sand with 400 grit paper. You want to insure you sand all areas, nothing should be shinny, light should be hazzy when done. No need to sand hard.
[5] Wipe with clean rag so remove all dust.
[6] Applied 4 "light" coats of VHT NightShade (Pep-Boys carries this for around $12.00) waiting 20min between each coat. The more you do the darker it will be and you can always go back and do more coats if you want. Start with 3 coats.
[7] After finial coat I waited 2 1/2 hours then wet sanded with 1500 grit paper
[8] Wipe with clean rag and insure all is dry
[9] Applied 3-4 "heavy" coats of Krylon Fusion for plastic Clear UV. You can use others but this was my preference. After the first 2 coats I let it dry for about an hour and wet sanded again with 2000 grit.

All items were purchased at Pep-boys with a total of $37.98. Total time took about 6 hours.

After the lights curried over night, close to 24 hours, I grabbed the mini bullet polish bit and threw some plastic polish on them and gave them a double shine.
