If you are tinting them black, I found the best result was with VHT Nightshades. It looks too flat though by itself, so after coating them with Nightshades (however many coats to get the tint you want) spray them with a non yellowing clear. Give them a good 3 or 4 coats. Then rub them back with 1200 wet and dry until nice and flat, then buff them with a buffing compound and finish with a coat of polish. They look a treat.
