Well everyone tomorrow's the day that I'm finishing up and smoking the outer and clear coating everything, now here's my dilemma, no matter what I'm not smoking the reverse lights, but......should I smoke the turn signals or leave them amber??

well here it is all done, the inners came out great unfortunately the outters didnt come out so great, my first attempt was goin good had the reverse lights masked off had it all painted and it looked great until it came time for the clear, i made the mistake of spraying too close and too thick, the paint started pitting and the reverse lights fogged over, i had to strip them and quickly resray since i had limited time left, sadly didnt come out so great, i am going to be redoing them very soon, in the picture it looks like the right side is darker but they are the same darkness there is just more light on the left side of the garage

It looks even better in person even tho I messed up the outers, it would have looked better if I could have had the reverse lights taped off like they were the first attempt
