   Hi guys i've just bought these lights off a shop on ebay
   
   
   
   and I plan to tint the lower half fully red
   
   So I bought this stuff.
   
   
   
   How many coats of spray should I use? And what's required to do it? Sanding etc? Because I don't like the idea of sanding my new lights. I don't even like the idea of spraying them!! But I love the look they give at the end. Which is hopefully what I'll get.
   
   Thanks.

   Just keep giving coats until you're happy with them
