Where to buy lens tint paint?

[Morcs]

I cant find any anywhere. Repco and supercheap dont do it.

Ive started buying bigger indicators (pissed off with micros blowing, and changing the bulbs is impossibile), and orange lenses look gay, so need to paint them.

also not going to pay $20usd for shipping on ebay...

any help appreciated.

i think its called VHT Niteshade, i havent seen it for years, maybe because it is now illegal?

Tinting -

It is illegal to apply any kind of tint film, tint paint or opaque sticker to any lamp which has a function other than decoration (eg non-cosmetic).

But you can buy indicators with smoked lenses?

you sure can, its just illegal to tint them yourself, blame the boy racers who basically used to just paint them with black paint.

Bugger.

everyone has to promise not to laugh at my orange indicators then. The cbr has one set, and the drz has two...
at least I wont have to spend $50 everytime a bulb blows as I cant either find a bulb, or change it...

Any model shop, or contact Pioneer.

instead of using a solid black paint, head into a model shop and buy some Tamiya brand Smoke paint for around 5-6 dollars for a small pot (around 20ml). It is a transparent black and not a solid black tint so should work fine.

Have you asked the people at Repco? They can order it, i got a can a couple of months ago no worrys just ask them to order it in

I just used the model shop paint option. small spray can used for tinting windows on RC Cars

Why would anyone laugh at orange indicators? And why would you care if they did?

i got some from repco too, i didnt like it tho, i tried to tint a screen, it came out crap, maybe ok on the inside of the indicators. its spose to run and the runs are spose to even out, not!
on a window it says spray the top 3/4 and it will run over the last 1/4 and even out, not! its shit!

oh yer, you could do the old boy racer trick, a black stocking over it.

because they look big and rather gay on a sportsbike.

But you have a beemer so you wouldnt understand

if you just coated the whole screen with it do you think it would have worked out better? I was thinking abou t spraying mine as i'm a cheap bastard (more like broke) and don't wont to fork out for a tinted screen....(the dash lights are invisible in the sun with the clear screen on my bike)

Somewhere on the net there's a site that makes replacement bulbs for dashboards out of LEDS (i.e. LEDs with a resistor and the right plug thingy on the end)... they also make them out of superbrite white LEDs, maybe those might help?
