So I spray tinted my taillights and they turned out really good I just don't like how flat they look so I'm going to clear coat them. I taped off the reverse lights when I tinted them. Do you guys think I should tape them off again for the clear coat? Or won't it matter because its clear on clear? I just don't want to go through all that work of taping them off again if it won't make a difference. Thanks guys.

No need on taping off the taillights

It won't make a difference if you tape that part off again. I would recommend you just painting the entire light. Plus it will put a good coat of clear on the entire light to make it look uniform.

If you're doing a proper clear coat I would remove the tail lights to do the work on them instead of going through the hassle of taping them off. Its extremely easy to remove the tail lights from your car, just undo the 4 screws/4 bolts on the outer/inner and then pull them off your car, and disconnect the wires/bulbs.

wet sand, wet sand, wet sand. I tinted, lightly, my tails and cleared them as well. Another thing you might want to consider is a buff after they are cleared. I used Meguiar's Plastx and their buff wheel. They turned out great. Just be patient and don't rush and you'll do fine.
