grounding tail lights after paint 120-130 1968

Hello All,

Tail lights aren't working after paint. I tried getting the screw holes down to metal, and it's not working. checked fuses, and all connections. Any tips would be much appreciated. Everything worked before, blinkers, and other lights a fine.

gd;

Taillight fixtures are tied to Chassis and return Lamp currents by way of two tiny sheetmetal screws (NOT the ones holding the Lenses), which paint shop may have loosened, and this current path is common to all lamps...so check there first!

Good hunting!
