I did a previous car with VHT nightshades. It's an aerosol spray can, like spray paint, but it's tint. It's really easy to do, but do ONE COAT AT A TIME. It may not look as dark as you *think* you want, but then when you put it on the car, and try the brakes, you might have accidentally went to dark. It comes off easily with paint thinner.
Once you reach the desired level of dark, just spray a ligth coat of clear over top of it.
VHT is like $9/can, one can will do 2 cars easy. Clear can be had at any auto parts store for like $3.
NOTE: I did 5 coats on my old car, and the cops gave me HELL. *if* I was ever to do this again, I'd do like 2 coats, maybe three.
YMMV.

Thanks for that. I think I would get my eyebrows tinted now. My car is black so I feel it would blend it well. Try and improve on bangle's mistakes.
