Considering painting tail lights
I've been thinking about painting my tail lights black on my black car.
Any one got any tips?
Like what kinda paint, remove to paint or not, how many coats, clear coat or not, sand before? If so what grit?

VHT is a paint brand, nightshades is a transperant black paint, most auto parts stores carry it
Plastidip is at most major hardware store, i have only been able to find it at home depot
I also suggest getting prep spray(wax and grease remover) and Adeheasion promotor( clear primer)

OK so I should go with night shades in order to keep it visible as not to get pulled over right?
