Tail lights cleaning and paint

While my tail lights were out I decided to clean and paint them. I used Meguiar's PlastX cleaner with a old electric toothbrush to clean the lens. It did a great job of cleaning and made the lens look like new. I taped off the chrome edges of the tail light assy and painted the inside with 2 coats of grey primer and then 2 coats of Plasticoat Chrome paint.

The rear assy is before and the front assy is after. Should make the lights refect better.

The two socket holes, Avanti Two, correct? I cemented small mirrors in the tail lights of my 63 Avanti.. Mirrors from a Arts & Craft store. The single bulb reflects off the mirrors amplfying the brightness. I used Ultra Bright tooth paste to polish the surface of the lense, clean and removed slight scratches. Jewelers trick on restoring watch lenses.
