first i took the tails out, 3 10mm bolts and unplug wire harness, next i used masking tape all around the tails and used a knife to cut tail shapes, next is sanding, i used 320 grit, then applied layer after layer of the paint, 4 layers i used, waited about 20 minutes in between coats, then i used 600 grit wet sandpaper, dried, used 3 layers of clear coat.
back up lights work fine still.
