Default Blackout

I am wanting to attempt blacking out my taillight and headlights on my 1995 Mustang but is there any specific spray or anything I should use cause I cant find anything to use! Please help me I might need a website, I have checked AmericanMuscle and I found Lens Painter but I don't know if that is any good also If you have blacked out head or tail lights mind posting a picture so I can see what it looks like? Thanks to all. I don't know if this is the right section but I am gonna give it a try.

^^light coats are ok, but stops the headlights from projecting. tail lights are fine because they are made to illuminate anyways, not really project light. i have mine done with vht nightshades and it looks great!

I went into a local auto paint supply store and asked about the nightshades and told them what I was going to do. He suggested that I use a black candy spray instead as it does the same thing but was a better quality. I then went over it with a good quality uv clearcoat and they have held up nicely. I did the same thing with a light coat on the headlights and show it somewhere in my cardomain page.

They do have some decal-type stickers that you can put on and peel off if you don't like it, check ebay.

i would recommend the vht also, i have mine done but not with it, i had extra vinal window tint laying around and did the backs and the brake light, and for the headlights i just bought the smoked ones and called it good.
