Looks nice..
I see you didn't get carried away with too many coats. More subtle this way..

It was vinyl not paint. But I agree it is much more subtle when its not pitch black.

I think he meant he was glad the OP used vinyl instead of paint. As to not ruin them.
Although NHT spray can easily be removed, is a bit more hassle than vinyl if you change your mind.

Eeek...might have to pass on this. Only think they look OK if they have a glossy finish.
