I painted my stock 92 CX corners using Tamiya Acrylic Paint in the bottle with a brush Its just a transparent Amber....Look at your local hobby store. Mine has been on for about a year now starting to fade a little time for another coat.

I had painted my stocks with Krylon Orange Stained Glass Paint and it looked good, but it started fading on my so I just bought some APC knockoffs from PepBoys for $25

i used the krylon orange stained glass window paint too. to keep them from fading use UV protectant wax on them. u can find the can of paint at any local hobby store or arts and crafts store.

^ i used what he used. the only problem i had, was that i sprayed them when it was kinda windy so the paint on my lenses is uneven in some spots. from far away you really can't tell the difference, but up close you can see the crappy spray job. I also found the paint on sale for .99 a can so it was a very very inexpensive mod.

stained glass paint in a can would do better than the brush on one. anyways...they sell those amber corners at island motorsports in SOCAL for 25 bucks
