depends...if you wanna use a flat black or glossy black...i used the flat black...came out good but one of my buddies went with the glossy black...which imo looks better...but its all up to you...you can purchase the spray can paint at autozone or advance autoparts...you can use any spray can...just when you go to spray the (amber) corner...make sure you give it alot of coats or else when you install it back on with the lights on...it'll shine thru

its not weird...the weather has alot to do with the curing time (drying)...the hotter the faster...the colder the slower...thats why most bodyshops use a "bake" system...after painting a car/car-body-parts...they set it in the booth where its at a certain temperature for a certain amount of time...you can use a blow dryer an work the heat evenly...just dont concentrate it on one area too long...
