Dying Lenses

hustlerzlife · 08-15-2006

Does anyone know how to dye or coat the signal lenses? I have 2 sets and between them I have 1 good set but one of those have been sunbleached. I was thinking about melting some gel-filters that go on stage can lights with a heat-gun of blowdryer.

Krylon stained glass paint. Hard to find. I ordered online from Ace Hardware's web site. Maybe an arts & crafts store would carry it.

For the time and effort required....why not splash out on a set of repro's from OGTS....you will probably be happier in the long term....

Revell has paint in the collours transparent red and orange, should be good to [spray] paint the lenses
