my friend just did his tails and he found spray on tint, not sure what its called, its more or less black and clear mixed spray paint, but it looks really good. he put on too many coats and they are really dark but still looks really good. i think he got it at autozone.

I did mine with a spray on tint from rustoleum. Scotch brite the hell out of em. Mine turned out really nice. Got a ticket today for em though lol.
Hehe I did too couple weeks ago. A lady in a beamer zoomed by me goin well above the speed limit but pulled my truck over instead! Made me mad. But I've used Nightshades and it does seem purple. So I went with regular black paint.
RUN WAT U BRUNG!!!!
If you have access to real paint, there are several ways to do it, and it will look WAY better and last longer. Some people mix base with DBC500(PPG brand). I personally over reduce the base coat, using regular black. Get it to desired darkness and 3-4 coats of clear.

i just used the night shades on mine real careful with the coats and a few coats of clear they turned out real nice i had them that way for about 2 yrs til i got tired of them and changed them back but mine never turned purple that i could tell ive heard people say theyve had that problem though.. but honestly if your looking for something cheap i had good luck with nighshade but mine were usually covered with dirt anyways
