Clear tailights without chrome tape

Ok, I have done another set of clear tails with the chrome tape and I am sick and tired of doing that. I am going to do another set for my brother, but do not want to use the chrome tape this time. Should I just remove the orange lens, and then reseal everything? Any pics of how this looks. I was also thinking, why not just spray up the housing with chrome paint? I just think the tape adds too much labor.

i’m considering doing this, how much more labor does it involve to put in the chrome tape?

i would think that if the lights weren’t sealed well the chrome paint would fade and thus look worse… right?
