As you can see, the surfaced of the red painted buckets were glossy so the first step is to sand it untill you can see a flat surface. First use the 800 grain and then use the 1500 grain to smooth it out. wash the sanded area and dry it between sanding to remove the all the residue from sanding. When the the surface is smooth and no sights of a glossy paint surface, is ready for next step.

First use the paint tape and make the layout of the places needed to be painted. Then use newspapers to shield the areas that are not required to be painted including the headlights. Once you got it ready you can start to paint the areas.

Following the instructions from the spray paint can, I applied three coats, 10 minutes in between, to make it thick enought to cover the area througly. After 30 Minutes, the paint would be dry enought to touch and a full hour so it can be handled. After 10 minutes of the last coat, you can carefully remove the taping.

After removing the tape and newspaper, you can clearly see the outline and you have to allow 1 full hour so the paint is completely dry.

You can clearly see the difference of the car after applying paint on the Headlight Bucket areas. It looks more bolder and more factory look. Enjoy your car.
