Default VHT Nite Shade // anyone got a can?

I want to spray a couple small chrome trim pieces so I don't really want to buy a can.

Anyone wanna donate a couple thin layers??

And before anyone says "don't be a cheap a$$"... its more about the "clutter" in my apartment than anything else.

^ Yes it will work but you will need to wetsand and apply clear coat.

Turns out one of my friend's has a leftover can from another project.

Good luck on your project!

Hey Jason, text me if you still need a can I know a local member that may still have some in his garage if you need it when I was helping him tint his tails.

Haha thanks. I think this'll look good.

I'm gonna get these (chrome door handle thingies):

Then use the Nite Shade tint spray and tint it into something like this:

Thanks Jeff I'll let you know. As you can see, I'll need such small amounts, I really don't wanna buy a can

I guess those door handles will add a little because I have never seen them in this area. You are getting bored Jason?

So spray tint on chrome will look like "black chrome"?
I'd be interested in doing this myself

Haha well I have a lot of things on my list... this is just another small touch I think would make the TL look better.

Apparently so... only in thin layers though. Give it a shot!

Anyone who knows Brian, knows he doesn't throw ANYTHING out in his garage. I think the Subway bags are still in there.
