Compare the VHT side by side with a black/clearcoat mix and you'll see the difference.

Black/clearcoat obviously looks better.
For the price paid, if done right vht does pretty good.
You can't really compare a $100.00 booth job to a $12.00 rattle can. lol

not doubting you at all. just some people's budgets are different, so if you're gonna do it the cheap way, you might wanna do it right so it doesn't look cheap.
