Red tail lights look like they are frosted...

... cleaning the car the other day and noticed one of the all red rear tail lights has a frosted appearance to it. Am I right in thinking the lacquer has gone in some way?

 

How can I fix it? Can i just rub it down and re-apply some more lacquer?

 

Don't really want to buy more, but also concerned I won't be able to match them up.

 

Any help would be great.

Cloudy laquer usually points to a moisture problem. Either it was sprayed on in a cold / damp environment of the laquer has reacted to something, or doesn't like the cold.

 

You can try a rub down with 1200 grit paper and polish up, but if that doesn't work you'll need to remove the red laquer and redo it unfortunately.
