95-96 red/red tails

for those who have taped theirs on, did it fade or is it fading? i spray painted mine on and they're fading. i kno i should paint the inside and put like 2 coats on but i'm wondering if the tape fades, cuz it's a lot easier to put tape on instead of having to take off the tailights and paint them.

how many layers of paint should i put on if i wax them after...doesn't a lotta layers of paint dim the lights? i don't want my signals all dim...i want it to match the brightness of the brake lights. Thanx guys for helping.
