here is what i did i used it to tint the rear side markers on the bumper to match the tail lights. it looks alot better in person, because i took the pic in my garage, and my car is dirty from all the snow/salt. plus because of the flash on the camera it looks like there is a reddish tint. it really looks dark black in person.

actually (as descibed my my how-to linked to above) to get a gloss/shinny finish, you need to go other it will a clear coat (and to protect it). Nite Shades is kindof matte when applied without a clear coat on top.

i did mine over red. got my cans from Summit (as linked to above). check out my how-to...should answer any other questions you have.
