Blackout spray on marker lamps and park lamps?

I need opinions. How would my Formula look with the red & orange(cringe) marker lights and orange park lamps made black with blackout spray. I ve already got the GTS taillight blackout and Im planning on tinting, and I also think the front and sides would look alot cleaner being black instead of red/orange. Is this even possible to do? Thoughts...

I shot my turn signals in blackout and it looks fine. Go to any hobby/model store and look for either transparent or translucent black.
It could end up looking like this:

scauffiel, I sorta of dislike the 3rd gen firebirds body style (not saying that in a bad way at all) but I have to admit, I really love the look of your car man. Awesome job.

Does the spray ever come off?

Well, it's been on for about 4 months now and hasn't come off. It may eventually fade being subject to sunlight, but I'll just shoot it again.

Rare-Roc, go to testors.com and check under enamels. Order two cans to be safe, with shipping, like $10 and you'll have enough to spray a second set of taillights if you want. Good luck!
