Yeah, I used VHT niteshades (sp?). I wet-sanded before hand and cleaned it off with alcohol, but i was dumb for not sanding between coats. Mine turned out well, but they look more matte black finish than glossy black, even with some clear-coat over it

I also did it on my gf's white g6. it looks like a storm-trooper from the back now haha. I'll see if I can snap a pic
