Darkening paint

Let's say I had a vehicle with a bright silver paint job. Is there anything I could do to darken the color? Colored wax?

You could try a dodo juice color charged wax. If you layer it enough times it will slightly alter the hue of the paint. I personally don't care for their waxes though. They can be a PITA to use.
