it is. only issue i had was when i clear coated them, the clear actually started dissolving the vht, and i got a couple little runs of blackish on the white part. just do light coats and it should be fine.

Prolly reason being different type of paint and clearor like a laquor paint and then a laquor clear the clear will disolve the base.

it's a really simple procedure...it's also really easy to mess up. just take your time with it. slow, thin, even coats. wet sanding between coats (400 grit or higher. I prefer a 1200 grit for this though). should take you roughly 15 minutes per coat on a hot sunny day (if done outdoors). (time includes spraying, letting it tack up, and wet sanding)

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
