i use nite shades and it works well for me,
after nearly two years of daily driving mine are starting to fade and need refinished.
also, I used a clearcoat over mine...without it the finish looks dull and cheap.

Where can you buy VHT Nightshades? I have yet to find it in a store.

i work for pep boys in their performance division (this is new to the company)
we sell it on the shelf in any standard pep boys store for 12.99 for a full size can though
it is in the spray paint aisle on the top shelf.
if your local store doesn't carry it, they an order it in for you and it should take no more than a day or so to get you a can.
I will post the part number publicly so you can call in before you go.

Thanks for the help. I found a place that sells sheet, http://www.401graphics.com/headtailtint.htm but I'll try the Nightshades first.

I had my front side lights and lights by my rearview done at a tint shop. They used a vinyl in 20% like tint but it is thicker. It came out well appears very dark and the light shows through it pretty well. I know you asked about paint but this is something to think about and it can be taken off if need be
