Default VHT Night Shades?

I am just wondering if anyone had a small amount of VHT Night Shades sitting around. I am not looking to do a major amount of tinting just the side makers on the mirrors.

hmm black glass, very very nice.... most that i have seen have been pretty blechy. but proper prep is pretty much everything so i will agree with this one.

Agreed. I've found VHT to be tougher to work with than normal opaque spray paint. It seems more difficult to get an even coating and gloss, but with enough prep and patience it can turn out awesome.

My tail lights have had VHT on them for about four years now without any discoloration.
