clean them real good... tape up around your reverse light... tape all the edges if you're anal like that.. (I am)... give it 2-3 THIN even coats of candy (translucent) red...and your set..

so you don't take the lights apart and paint the inside and reseal them? you just paint the outside part that people see on the back of your car?

Re: painting tails
clean them with alcohol, then lightly sand them in one direction only, then clean w/soap and water. mask whatever you don't want to paint off. spray thin coats till you get the shade of red you want, then let dry and your set
