the first time, i did no preparation to the plastic so the paint didnt really bond to begin with, then when i sprayed the clear coat,there was a chemical reaction, so after sanding and using paint thinner, i got messed up tails, i kept wet sanding with a 400/600 grit, then painted them again black, this time when i clear coated i put too much so both tails were dripping bad, so repeated the repair process and they worked this time
looks pretty sweet. i did that to mine for awhile but the rain eventually started making them look like crap. does the clear coat prevent the rain from doing this

ya the clearcoat would protect against fading from sun/wear(when washing car) n such....but u should get them re-coated every so often

just right now i was outside talking to the insurance company when this dude in a white sentra(modded) stopped right in front of my house cuz he saw my tail lights.....he said they were dope, too bad he already had se-l's.......so i guess my car stands out now, oh and now i can teach him the ropes when it comes to sentras.....
