Ok guys, heres my problem, I painted my headlights, I have the darkness I want, it looks some what decent except there are brush strokes in the paint that make it look not so good, anyone have any advice on getting rid of these? I dont mind repainting it. Thanks alot.

Don't paint with a brush. Use spray paint or a paint gun.
hmmmm, wonder where I could get a good paint gun from...

I painted the glass with the spray, then after it dryed I painted over with a clear coat enamel with a brush, and then things just got out of hand, since im a perfectionist, I cant stand a little missed spot, so after I saw it 1 thing lead to another

why didn't you just use a spray clear coat ?

anyway, to help with the problem, wait until they are very dry (1-2 days) then try wet sanding them and buffing them out.

I srpayed the clear coat, I did like 5 coats and it let a residue that would not come out, almost like if the clear coat had gray in it.
