            If yours was enough for 3-4 coats, then I'll do just fine with mine since I'm gonna put only a single coat (maybe 2 coats max).

              Also... forgive me forgive me for not introducing myself... this Is AMEEN... i have a first gen and just recently tinted my tails... I will be posting a how to to do this for first gens... but to the point...

              You might want to prep your lights first before spraying them... This means your probably going to have to...

              1. Clean them with Soap and water
              2. Wet Sand them Down... (1000 and/or 1500 grit)
              3. Rinse and Clean them again with soap and water, then using a rubbing compound or alcohol...
              4. Masking Them and taping them off (masking tape, newspaper)

              Doing these steps will probably lead to a safer project, and will also aid in paint adhesion... Be careful about paint fumes, cause that VHT SH** is NOT a joke man.. that stuff stank like all hell... I actually think I lost brain cells today... Holla at ya boi...

              If you want some pics go to my post...

                I was assuming that washing your lights before painting them is something that is common sense. And also you should tell them not to use something less then 1000 grit ( I guess some people can try that. I cleaned mine with PlasticX after I tryied it on my heads. It works pretty good( I didn't paint all surfase of my tails and was kinda scared to use any kind of sanding paper)
