when I did it, I taped off the parts i didn't want to be painted, sanded the rest of the lights with sandpaper, and sprayed it with automotive paint from napa from a HPLV gravity feed spray gun, then clear coated it. it looks exactly like the factory paint, and looks amazing.....wish i had pics to show you. but basically its like painting any other exterior part.
I didn't use a primer and its held up just fine to high pressure washing and high speeds (100+)

Yeah, my taillights are painted the color of the car. I haven't replied to this thread though because I had a shop do it, and am not sure how exactly they did it. I'm almost certain they used the same paint as the rest of the exterior, but whether or not they put a layer of primer down or not, i dont know.
It cost somewhere in the ballpark of $100-$150 to have a shop do it. It was probably so expensive because of the prep time.
It looks really cool when it's all done though.
i was gonna do this but traded my trunk for a 99
