      what kind of paint did you buy? smooth can be a sprayed finish, or a sand and buffed finish. i recommend only a spry finish on "see through" painting, as buffing might make it blotchy, uneven in appearance, or you'll buff through.

      dont paint em. when 5-0 pulls u over and gives u a ticket, itll be expensive to replace. tinted wrap is where its at. easy removal looks smooth and matte, ive had mine for a year and no issues at ALL

      i wouldnt use anything over the lens on the headlight. It will decrease output considerably and make it hard to see, or be seen at night. The aveos lighting already needs help when stock.

      i used vht nightshades on mine. i taped off the reverse lights so they didnt get painted over. used 2-3 coats and it came out good. just gotta be very careful if you used clearcoat on top. could make or break the entire job.

      When I used clear coat it fogged the entire light and is now rough in many spots. I'm guessing its the material on my lights. I had to remove the paint and now I'm going to get real tint. Less trouble..more money though.
