why are the tails still grainy sanding looking? I always just use straight niteshade the ultimate compound. they come out very glossy and dark, but you can see the light extremely well.

don't mind the goofy ass face lol.

I've done about 5 sets of Tail-lights for local friends and I found that 2-3 Light coats of VHT and 5-6 coats of Clear Coat is the best technique. After that final clear coat hardens up and dries (I used a blow-dryer to assist the curing / drying process) I used 1000 Grit sandpaper and sanded down the orange peel a little. I then used 2000 grit sandpaper (wetsand) and was pretty gently with it. I applied 3-4 coats of POLISHING COMPOUND by hand and buffed it out by hand, The final coat of polishing compound I used a buffer to really get the shine through (I used a little bit of moisture to add a little more sheen to it)

If you need some more help, let me know Ill do a video if I can.

nah i actually jsut did them again and there so glossy ... but only issue i see with them is i have the outter part blacked out with spray paint its held for over a year and i cant seem to get it to shine like the vht. and id rather not strip them down and try again but u can tell in some spots where iv painted them stripped them and painted them so many times lol
