Joel (sound_extreme) did them for him. Just PM him about it.

Stained glass window paint would do that, it would hafta be done on the inside of the lens to keep the paint from chipping from rocks. I've got a can of blue, but you can get it in green, yellow, red, orange, and some frosted colors too that I've seen.

I can get you the part number if needed.

^ I dunno man, its seems that stuff goes on too thick to give that effect. And getting it that even would be pretty friggen impossible. Or have you figured something out?

[Cyber Knight]

No way, it goes on pretty thin, it comes out in a finer mist than a regular can of spray paint. When I did my 3rd brake light I had to do 4 coats, and they were kinda heavy coats. I bet a couple of light coats would make it look nicely tinted in the day, but probably un-noticable (and legal) at night.

Oh its spray?? i've only seen the paint on.

In that case I'll shut up now.

[Cyber Knight]

Heh, and I've only seen the spray kind. I'll make sure to mention that from now on.
