I saw your thread, I know I don't have a Z but a vert with a smoothline top closely resembles a Z
Hope this helps some.
Basically you have to find a willing paint and it's basically clear coat with a couple drops of black in it.
Some people do skimp it and buy the cheesy stick on acrylic blackouts

My Z with one coat of Niteshades on the taillights and 2 coats on the side marker lights. The tail lights are very visible in the daytime and the brake lights are REALLY visible in the daytime or nighttime. 2 coats made the side marker light very dark but it is still visible at night.

This is what I did. I have Euro lights and I got my paint shop to tint them, I wanted to get rid of the fugly backup lights so I use the inside pair of the tail lights as backup lights and the flashers are on the outside pair. I then got my number plate guy to make up a plate to cover the area where the backup lights/no. plate holder are incorporating a correct size Euro plate.
