#95864, "painting center light quick question"


          

after getting a few wayyyy overpriced estimates i decided to paint the center piece of my tailights myself. so i found some duplicolor auto paint that matched and painted it. the only thing is that its a little more dull than the rest of the car, by dull i mean not as shiny. so if i buy some spray clear coat and spray that over it will it fix that problem? thanks.

Spray it with a couple coats of clear, wet sand it with like 1500, and then buff it after it has all dried. Should look close.
