Hi - thinking of spraying my clear side repeaters white to match my car. Do I just do really thin coats of primer, colour and lacquer? Or is a different technique needed, i do want the light to shine through a bit as well though!

i have done it before, you need to use the clear plastic primer, then very thin layer of paint.
i did it on my rear lights, and you couldnt see anything from them in daylight, and at night wasnt much better.
i took it off after a couple of weeks after i had loads of people telling me my brake lights werent working.

I did my repeaters Atlantic Blue to match my car...
Ok, the lights a bit crap, but at night its fine. I just used a high grade wet and dry (1200 I think), give em a good wash, straight on with one good coat of the blue, and then used clear laquer (twice I think).
To be honest I like em a lot, but I can't post any pics coz I'm regular scum not premium, until work sort out the bloody payrise...

dont use normal primer 
1. you wont get a good covering enough for the paint too stick
2. it will block out more light than the paint.
use a scotch pad instead of sandpaper, much more effective
