i know waht u mean... i used flat "black" to spray the grey part of my tailights and it was just really dark grey. i think ur best bet is buy some outdoor furniture paint (like housepaint) and brush it on good cus that will probably be the best darkest longest lasting

Black Primer paint

i actually blacked mine out with the factory nighthawk black paint that i had put in a spray can. then i put a light clear coat on it. looks sweet, shines just like the car does. i asked the guys at the paint shop about heat problems and they said it wont matter because its not close enough to the lights.

I get compliments from my shop and every show and shine I go to saying how much mine look just like black ABS plastic.......I used 5 thin coats high temp flat black engine enamel by Dupli - Color over 3 coats grey primer......trust

i used high temp. paint. it's used for like painting outdoor grills and things. it worked well. it's flat black. i would make look for a satin black instead. just a little shiney.

Dupi seems the be what our shop in my area uses the most and with thin coats and a clear coat is looks great
