Default Matte Tail Lights

Just sprayed my tail lights with a matte clear coat to get that matte red look. How do you guys think it looks?

Sorry! Photo didn't work.. new to CL!! Thanks for the Photobucket advice. How do people get it to show up without a link to another site?

Here's the car

Picture is not working but they probably look awesome. I've always liked the frost look on red taillights. Photobucket is a good way of posting pictures on here

Seen it before (JoshIS408) has them. Theyre not bad but I like gloss over matte.

I did mine with matte clear Plastidip and it looks awesome. Plastidip is good if you ever decide you want to go back to the glossy finish.
