someone told me:Get Testors black transparent model paint. Take out tails, clean real good with soap and water and let dry.

start with light coats and spray over tails, let dry 5 mins in between coats. Keep spraying until they are as dark as you want. If you mess up, it comes off with plain rubbing alcohol.

Once your happy, let dry about an hour. You can also put a couple of coats of Testor clear over them so they hold up better.

I did it to my S-type tails on my accord, looked very nice.
