Default What kinda paint for taillights??

I've already searched, and nothing came up, so my question is, for those people who have painted their bottom half of their stock taillights black on 5th Gens., what kind of paint do you use, and were could I get some?? I'm talking about that clear color black also...

Thanks

Not sure about the black, but I think my friends used something called Nightshade to smoke their taillights. Think they bought it at Home Depot.

If you want red, I forgot what company but it's transparent Candy Apple red.

model car paint works great like the transparent red painted over the amber part of the light makes it look killer... i did that to my 92 accord and a nice mod for only $5 and you they have hundreds of other colors and other stuff like that
