Light only shines thru where the lenses are on those tailights, no where else, he used masking tape or fine line masking tape to keep the paint off that area if thats what you meant? And that would be a pro thing, not a spray can thing. I painted my tailights as well, but mine are the older style, they were all crackly and ugly, now they are shiny new black like the rest of the trim

Yeah, fine line tape works best, I also masked between the brake light and turn siginal seam as well. The lenses are a two piece part, if you try and bridge the joint w/ finish, there's a possibility of a "check" problem developing from vibration over time. A light scuff w/ scotch brite, mask 'em off, shoot em a few times, scuff em again after un-mask, and then 4 coats of clear over entire lens face. After curing a little buff and wax and they're good to go.[/quote]

Couldnt have said it better myself, well done
