Don't paint with a brush. Use spray paint or a paint gun.

Did you paint the glass on the headlights? Or the inside, or what? Do you have pictures?

I painted the glass with the spray, then after it dryed I painted over with a clear coat enamel with a brush, and then things just got out of hand, since im a perfectionist, I cant stand a little missed spot, so after I saw it 1 thing lead to another

why didn't you just use a spray clear coat ?
anyway, to help with the problem, wait until they are very dry (1-2 days) then try wet sanding them and buffing them out. -------------------- |

I srpayed the clear coat, I did like 5 coats and it let a residue that would not come out, almost like if the clear coat had gray in it.
