It might be Better/Faster/Cheaper if you do that BEFORE the car is complete...... like continuously, section at a time instead.    
Just an observation based on experience.

Yip, sorry I should have said I am 2 or 3 times a week. Settling the bill on Thursdays. 
I mean the last inspection process, before it leaves. Do you know what JS27 was meaning by black paint above the tailights then?  :???:

Ill go out to garage and look.... hold on....



EDIT:

OK,

along the edges of the chrome itself, of the lights  (part closest to the Trunk) it is painted a flat black.

imagine the lens and then a 1/2 inch chrome trim ring directly around them....       ok?

now the rest of the chrome that reaches closer and closer to the rear sheetmetal, is painted in a flat black.

on my car, the tops, bottoms and sides are painted black (again except that chrome "trim ring effect" thats 1/2 inch around and closest to the plastic lenses)

not great pics, mind you, but they were taken in winter when I first put 'em on.  I chose to put them 'raised letters in' so not to break up the black.
