Ok, I've been looking for some paint to use on my tails. The only hobby shop I could have ordered through was closed down by the Gov. Wall Mart has Testors Black Pearl. Now. I'm thinking two things: 1. this is just gloss black paint, or 2. this is a pearl like a colored overcoat. Can it be used on my tails and still have the tails turn amber at night? I'm thinking about taking my tails apart and using new lenses. hmm, this breeds an Idea.

Let me know what you think.

But to answer the original question, Testors makes a transparent black tint spray paint that should work great right on the lens. You can order it online if there arent any hobby shops near you.

Ding Ding Ding You are correct. Thats exzactly what I used on my tails. Just make sure that you put a clear coat over it so that they don't start to flake off like mine did the first time. If your wanting a pic of how they turned out here is one user posted image . Just take your time when you do it. Thats the best advise that I can tell you when doing this.
