Works great, i have used it on all my vehicles, but like they said above use light coats to get the darkness you want, plus it runs really easy Make sure you use a clear afterwords or it can dull and will eventually fade.

yeah like everyone says you got to be very careful with this stuff because it doesnt have the same thickness as paint so it will run very easily and just do light coats and let it dry till the darkness is where you want it then clear and wet sand and i think some people repeat the clear and sand part 3-5 times and then a good buff on it so its nice and shinny
