    probably a noob question but if you were blacking out side markers with vinyl would you wrap the whole piece or just the outside?

    what about spray painting them? would plasti-dip paint be a bad choice of spray paint? I have some left over from blacking out my grille so just a thought.. thanks for the reply

    yeah you want something light can be seen through. Plasti-dip isn't transparent, you need something that will still allow for the light to come through like the VHT night shades. Or a tinting film if you choose to wrap them. Because with tint film, light goes out easier than in.
