umm... how many coats didd u put on and in what motion. I heard if u go in a circlular motion for 5 secs, with like 3 coats or whatever it takes to match the red should work.

VERY short bursts. I would say at least 5 coats, short burst of about 3-4 seconds. Take your time so you don't get the runs. . .

I sprayed too long and the paint ran all the way down to the bottom of the tail light (just under the reverse light).

You have to do very short sprays in a circle. Point all over. Stop after 3-4 seconds. Do it in the sunlight so you can see what you are doing. You WILL NOT see any change until about the 4th spraying. It too me about 6-7 to get it just right.

I used this kind of paint available at http://store.yahoo.com/streetbeatcus...oolcusstuf.htm
under bulb and tail spray.

Others have used Testors Candy Apple Red.

used Testors too--I cannot stress enough: DO NOT DO THIS IN A HURRY, let each coat dry so you don't get the runs like I did
