The red bleeds through sorry guys i have exhausted about all i know to do and now im out of third lights 
and now have to put this last one i did on my old 03 so I can sell it. Anybody else got any ideas ive exhausted all my options but i really want to do this and this new paint would work really well i know b/c i had a broken headlight laying around and did it while i was at it and walla a match to the smoked recon 3rd light. I wish someone could make a cast and then mold me a piece of clear.

did you try the paint i used or just black paint and that PPG stuff? if not, take some thinner to one of those lights and clean it up and try the rattle can stuff i used, a lil darker than mine and the red should be covered up pretty good!!!

you shouldnt be so fancy creed......go try a $4 rattle can and give her a go......youve already come this far so you might as well try it.
I like how mine came out and i think with one more coat, the red would go away
