Looks good! If I ever redo mine I plan to polish the lenses first, then tape and paint. Taping these is a bit of pain. Is the duplicolor a base coat, clear coat process?

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

I just carefully put naval jelly over the lenses and then paint.

Killer,

The paint I had a local shop mix up into a aerosol can and used the duplicolor clear.

They look great! I have been considering refinishing my original 94 lights just for kicks. I'll get around to it someday
