Default Painting turn signals on 94-97 to amber(searched

I was wondering if anyone in here painted there bumper lenses on their 94-97 to all amber, if so what paint did you use, where did you get it, and what color exactly was it? If you had any pics or feedback onto how it turned out I would like to hear/see it. Thanks in Advance!!

There was one fellow on ebay selling amber signals for the 94-97 teg but he wanted $59.
I decided then to use Orange Krylon glass paint. The results are very good. I suggest using a thin coat first to see if you like the color. I used two. Any more coats and the color becomes too dark.

Enjoy the photos.
