With my paint job do you think it would look good to get my headlights and taillights blacked out?
Someone on craigslist can do it so was just curious what yall think heres a pic of my car  just a side pic to get the idea of how the contrast works

Wet sanded the tails using 600 grit sandpaper; make sure the tails AND the sandpaper are both wet enough. I did three VERY thin coats of VHT Nite-Shades from about 15 inches away. I then threw three coats of clear on (make sure to wetsand in between coats to enhance gloss).
