When I get mine done, it will be done by my buddy that owns a customs and collision shop. Mixes black and clear paint. Cant beat the look in my opinion.

Had mine done by one of the best local best body shops. They painted the tail and third lights and are still easy to see through plus legal.

I haven't had the trucks done yet, but he did do one of my past cars, and it holds up just like your cars paint does. It is car paint and sprayed with clear coat at the end, so it does just as well as your vehicle paint. It is also much more transparent while still having a nice look.

I would not use VHT Nightshades, Plasti dip (on anything for that matter), or any other tinting spray.

This isn't a Ram so dont kill me, this is the car he custom painted the wheels (metallic black) and tinted part of the tails. Super glossy.

One of our local body shops also does this with a mix of black and clear.
