tail light black out

I saw a thread once about someone who blacked out their tail lights with a model paint of some sort. Anyone have any infor on this ? I used the search but did not find anything.

No one ever really said in that thread if they painted the inside or the outside of those lights...I am guessing that they did the outside just from the way it looks...

i did that to my irocs tails...i used the product called nightshade..i dont know if its the same name in the states(im in canada)

here is a pic of what it looks like...

oh and i sprayed it on the outside... coats depends on how dark you want the tails to be...i have about 7 coats and maybe 15-20% light comes through the tails...

I think iroc2nv's car is growing on me a little. I think with some minor changes it would kick ***. I was thinking perhaps go to all black...that red is just not doing it for me and do blue neons instead of red. I really like the front clip, although perhaps an SS hood? Maybe a little lower on the rear wing, not a whole lot though because it helps the front clip's lines flow.

the new wing actually. The front clip is not to my liking. The wing may not be either, but my curiosity in the matter is more important than my opinion. Do your thang, just don't get caught.

go to any 4wheeler custom shop.. they have spray on tint used on 4x4's. i used it on my 1999 VW jetta.. looks good.. best thing is.. it usually comes with a non abarsive remover.. so if u dont like it after a few months u can take it off.. no scratched lenses from a brillo pad or anything when you remove it.. i think the brand is *nite shades* i live in california, and picked it up at a shop called Tognottis.. its sorta like supershops's -=D
