yeh cos ive left the reflective strip unsprayed
not hard, just make sure theyre mega clean and mega dry otherwise the spray'l go white.
lightly sand your lights with wetndry or whatever so it sticks and doesnt drip, and do loads of thin coats.
theyve got about 6 coats on. i didn't laquer them because i couldnt be bothered at first, but i like them matt now anyway.

thats cos i didnt want them laquered.
theyre not 'cloudy' anyway - when the sun hits them from the side etx, the light goes through and bounces off the reflectors and comes back through the spray.
if i laquered them theyed look good,
then i could be a bad boy just like you 
pfft
