I used Rustoleum and it worked fine and looks fine. Idk about the lowest temperature though I did mine in a heated garage. I put a couple coats of clear on mine to make them glossier.

I used VHT. It turned out great, I still needed to hit it with clear though. It wasn't bad before the clear, but when the truck got a little dirty you could tell. Remember to wet sand the lights before application and lightly wet sand again before the clear.

oh yeah I know about sanding it (wet) of course. I just want to use the glossier of the 2 paints. Thanks a lot for your insight, fella's!

i used nite shades, i put a shit ton of coats on so i have NO red tint to it, its just jet black...... i waited for every layer to dry, cleaned really good , then wet sanded 1000,1500, then 2000 then applied another coat and did those steps for 8 coats then i buffed my tail lights and they are shiny ass reg brake lights and super glossy
