VHT Night-Shades paint is an excellent product for those who want to get that expensive blackened tail light look for cheap. This product is also great for those of us who want that look, but can't find any dealers who make tail light covers for our year and make of autos. Using two light coats of this paint gets a nice, full coverage, and lets the maximum amount of light through when applying the brakes. Because you don't have to use a ton of this paint to get coverage, you can easily do 4-5 cars worth of lights per can of paint. Compairing $13 per can to $35 for covers, and even up to $250 for a full tail light assembly, how can you go wrong?

I used this to tint my truck's camper top windows. I know, not designed for that. But, I wanted a cheap easy way to darken my truck's cap top windows. Years ago you could by spray on window tint. I would never use that stuff (or this stuff) for doing nice windows, but to darken windows you don't care about, it works okay. I couldn't find spray on tint and using black spray paint is too dark. If you want to make it difficult for people to see in to your truck bed through the cap windows and you don't care how spotty it will look from INSIDE the truck bed, this stuff works. It makes the glass just dark enough that I can see out, but they can't see in. It took three coats.

I used spray on tint years ago for this same thing and it worked about the same.
I used black spray paint one time too and that makes the windows too dark that I can't even see out. This stuff does not do that.

The results i got using this product were phenomenal. If you take the time to sand, apply multiple light coats and clear coat, this looks like somethingthat you get straight out of the factory, except the fact that you can chose the darkness you want.
