Cool nite shades.....question

ok i did my nite shades project the lights look amazing on my 05 SS

i cleaned the lense with alcohol, dried it. Sprayed my nite shades evenly throughout. After various coats 15 min spread, i did 3 coats of clear coat. 15 min spread. I then let them dry over night.

I woke up this morning and everything is perfect and even. BUT

here is my question

its a bit rough. (its sealed and wont flake or fall apart) but its a bit rough, I wanted to get the factory smooth look but tinted. Since I already applied clear coat, can I sand it down smooth? then clear coat again to get that factory smooth tail light look? any help would be greatly appreciated on this one. thanks in advance.

Use a very fine grit wet sandpaper. Should do the trick.

Talking

after I wetsand it down now, should I re apply another clear coat? will that really matter? thanks. I talked to the guy that send me the Vht, he said at this point I could wetsand it and be fine without clear coating it again. What do you guys think?

i have 3 coats of clear coat on it (havent wet sanded it yet)

thanks again
