S4 Tail Light Revival

Before,my tail lights were dull. The black sections were faded, almost gray looking. So I figured I throw this up for the people that want to renew their S4 tail lights. (Excuse the crappy cell phone pictures. Its all I have.)


So I took a little bit of high grit sandpaper and roughed up the surface a little.
I masked off the sections that I did not want to paint black.


I applied a 2-3 coats of flat black. ( I waited about 10-15 minutes between each coat)


Then I ripped off all the masking tape.


Then I applied a few coats of Krylon Clear Gloss. (Again I waited in between coats) Just make sure when you do the clear coat, that you are in a non windy and non dusty environment. You don't want to get dust and crud in your clear coat.



There you go. Put em back on your car and you have some shiny revived S4 Tail lights
