Default GOOD SPRAY TINT

I used vht night shades on mine and it worked great. You can control how dark you want it by just spraying thin even layer coats at a time. Don't use just paint, no light will be able to shine through. If you go that route, mix a little black with clearcoat and use a spray gun to put it on.
