Hey guys,
Just finished redoing the taillights with the candy apple red and clear coats as suggested by 1900WattCelica. I did about 4 coats of the red and about 6 or 7 coats of the clear coat. The color is a lot more even and transparent. See results below:  Testors Transparent Candy Apple Red and Clear Cote    After about 4 coats of red.   Masked off black trimming to prep for clear coat.  After about 6 or 7 layers of clear coat. Not that easy...   Here's the results, I think I'm going to wet sand it, some areas not very even.

How did using a black tint on an amber lens give you a red look?
