I used Krylon gloss Black, their higher quality spray, built in primer, but I also pre primered

Nope, I did put a border of nightshade around the tail lights just to darken the sealed outline, other than that the tail lenses are Red still

You should use glossifier on the plasti-dipped parts of your car if you already haven't - just a recommendation
