    Give it nice thick, even coats of clear. Always perpendicular to the surface of the tail light. Mine came out glossy smooth with no sanding afterward, except on the edges where i didnt go perpendicular all the way and didnt get as thick of a coat.

    No. If i tried to spray clear coat parallel to the tail light, i wouldnt get any on it

    Edit for clarity: The stream of paint must be perpendicular to the tail light. the motion that you move the can is parallel to it.

    he is right parallel is like an equals sign IE = perpendicular is a +. = paint misses + OMG the paint hit it

    my bad i was thinking the motion of your arm, the spray should be perpendicular.

    I was thinking parallel to the lens of the tail light, the nozzle pointed face down, where the perpendicular wouldn't make sense...
    It really depends on how you look at it I guess....

    well its like this you run the can over the light parallel to it contouring to the curves. this makes the spray perpendicular to the lens, as it will be sprayed directly at the lense

    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> = motion of arm
    llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllll
    llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllll = spray from can
    llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllll
    _____________________ = lens of tail light

    hope that clarifies
