should i black out head/tail lights? Options

[NewOrleans]

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

All good, questions are fine.
Light shows through perfectly, just like stock. I didn't wet sand between any coats, but I should have. Just do the three coats (no wetsanding in between) of Nite-Shades (or two thick coats, it really depends on the darkness you want...I'd recommend spraying something else that's plastic to get a feel for it). Then one coat of clear, wet sand it, then another, etc.

I bought both the Nite-Shades and clear from Advance Auto. I used Duplicolor clear, but I wouldn't recommend it because it is not very glossy. Again, this can be due to not wetsanding between coats of clear.
