What is the best paint to use to outline our '04+ tails? I want to black out the outline and leave the ovals as is.

What paint would you use and would you clear coat it after? Any help would be appreciated.

They all look awesome...thanks guys. I want the outline completely blacked out so I won't be using the vht niteshade...plus i don't want to mess w/anything that might turn purple. I did almost buy it at advance but glad i waited for your comments.

Next ?...how did you guys tint your reverse lite bar? That looks awesome and will be the next thing I do.
