Default Tail lights painted

I had my tail lights painted using the following process:

1. black pigment mixed with clear X 2 coats wet sanded between coats.
2. clear X 6 coats wet sanded between coats.

I need to get some pics in direct sunlight to show the true effect of the deepness of the tint, and just how clear the red shows through the tint. These pictures were taken after the sun had went behind my house and was hidden by the trees. Even in these it is apparent at the difference in the opacity based on the angle and lighting.

The distorted look in the tail lights are just a reflection of the overcast sky. These lights have a very deep look to them in person with the 6 layers of clear. I will try to get some better pics in a day or two. Photography is not one of my strong suits.

Feedback welcome.... good or bad.

Thanks
