Ok people, i have this question, i have seen on the back of alot of punto mk1's (black ones) the lights have been painted black, how is this done is it a simple spray on, or is it done professionally??? i was going to put tights over my lights lol not quite the same affect!!
 
You mean ones like mine (see my sig pic)? That was done using no more than a 15-quid tin of light tint spray (usually a tenner but Unicar is a ripoff and motor world were all out :() and some masking tape & newspaper to mask off the parts that I didn't want to tint. Just clean the lights with some spray-on glass cleaner, give them a good wipe and they're ready to spray; do lots of very thin coats leaving half an hour or so between coats to get a good even finish.

As for removing it: if you do a good job in the first place then it won't need removing ;)

...best of luck to you!
