Default VHT fogs
i figured i'd try VHT and tint the fogs. not to happy with the result, leaves a blue/purple tint. i'll end up starting over, but using my black/clear mix instead. here's a couple recent pix after i spent 4 hrs cleaning each wheel in/out.

Nice, what kind of ratio do you mix to tint it but still allow light flow?

It's VHT Nightshades, rattle can tint. I'm not crazy about this product and prefer black/clear mix. As far as mixing base black/clear, depends on how dark you want it and how many coats you want? Usually safe to do 90% clear 10% base black and just watch the coats as each dries.

theres also a vinyl thats smoked made by metro decals sold on ebay and there website, that will tint a perfect legal shade and leave a nice glossy finish, its just hard to use on really curced surfaces, i used it on my tails and several others cars....

Never traded the tint films. I'm sure it gives some protection as well.
