Default anybody know a cheap place to buy VHT Niteshades?
I was looking on ebay and most of them guys charge as much or more for the shipping as the price of the can. Kinda nuts.

If you have a car boutique by you they sell it for $18

I actually need to get another can tomorrow, the stuff doesn't go very far.

Ordered mine from Summit. Got a couple other locals that wanted it in as well, so I ordered 6-7 cans at once to keep the shipping down.

Otherwise, Advance/VatoZone should be able to order it.
VHT #999 if I recall.

Really depends on how thick you make the coat.. But everyone says you should make very thin coats to be sure the niteshade doesnt run..

But to answer your questions 1 coat would be like maybe a slight TINT in the lights..
