   you need to keep the reflective strip free, all you do is mask that off then spray with the spray of your choice or u can fully black them and get pulled over every now and again.

   Thanks guys. Ive heard you have to out a far few coats on to see any diference so ile mask it off first, do a few coats and then pull the masking off and do another few coats just to tint the square a lil bit.
   Cheers
