    You can buy clear transparent tint spray. Usually found at the craft store! PM Hobbies or Michael's

    well your goin to have to piant the hole light red to get rid of the orange square light then you tape of every thing you want to stay red and white and pint over the letters "talon" with silver let cure then tape off the letters and proced to paint the rest black
    oh ya and you can get night shades from any auto value to "tint" your lights

    ^^ Kay...shouldn't make it that complicated for something simple! What orange square light you talking about?

    -Just mask off and cover the areas you don't want to be painted (red area)...and leave the orange area exposed!

    I think by orange square lights he means the reflectors. It's just the camera flash.

    try to take your time, i have done this a couple times before and you have to have patience and take it easy with the painting as it can get pretty messy. i have seen some very bad jobs wich happened because the person doing it didnt take their time

    another tip is to put clear coat over the paint to make the end result look smooth and shiny, good luck and post some pics
