Make sure you use "transparent candy apple red" model paint that way your light output is not too dim. As far as how many layers just compare it to your inner lenses as you go. I used about 7 thin layers and it was almost identical. The factory lenses are a snap just open your trunk and remove the liner and it's just 3 or 4 screws. Be careful with the black goo (sealant) it's messy.

Walmart, Kmart, or any hobby shop carry them. I bought mine at "Michael's" arts and crafts.
