I change out the lenses, so they are amber. But when you turn the lights on they still glow red as that's the color of the lcd bulb

I think I am one of the few guys painting that will use automotive paint. That is what makes this look good.

yup, I even spray a clear coat over it. Takes awhile but everyone has been happy with them

I have no problem painting these as long as the customer is patient and pays the price.
I did get the gold painted on last night. I have to start pouring up the new lenses. That is the tricky part.
