Im interested in spray painting my back tail lights and was curious what type of paint I would use because I've seen it done before and would look on my black paintjob.

I've done it myself. It's easy once you get the tail lights apart, but that's a PITA. It's really worth it to give them to EvoDave. He does nice work.

I use tail light tint. It is a transparent spray on tint. Makes the lights look black but when you hit the brakes the light shines through and does not appear to cut down on the light transmitted.
