Well as the title says, I tinted my tail lights full red.
I was going for that all-red 997 look. I'm pretty happy with the outcome. I rubbed some acetone to make sure it's reversible, and it sure is. I'll leave it on for some time and make my decision.

What does everyone think?
Can anyone recommend a good clear-coat spray that I can use to achieve that glossy look?

Thanks!

I like the OEM look way better! I find that smoked clear light they use for the upper part looks fantastic. I would've went the LED route if I was you!!

I would of removed the lights before painting.. and maybe try to buff them a bit.. they look a little hazy.

Thanks.
Luckily, it can all be removed so I'm not worried.

The LED's on eBay look OK. I really want the 997.2 LED look, but have had a hard time find them.

What do you recommend I buff them with?

15psi

1200-2400 grit wet sandpaper, then polishing compound

Liked the original lights much more.

Oops looks like pics were down...

look ok to me....maybe a little hazy but I've got all reds and they're nice !

There is a good chance the acetone will dull the lenses if you try to remove all that. Just be aware. Acetone disolves plastic.

If you like the look, I would try to polish them up a bit and go with it.

I think they look good as well but if I had to be critical, I'd say it needs to have a brighter finish, as it looks dull in the picture.

I like em, but the dull finish on the taillights makes the paint look outstanding! Keep up the good work

Lol. I DID ask

If you could get them polished and shiny it would look better

Nice job but it needs 3-4 coats of glossy clear coat (DupliColor should do the trick). Let thoroughly dry, them finish with a fine grade polish.
