i used plastic model paint from TAMIYA.

clear orange was the color. i used an airbrush though. it chips after a while, and it looks yellow when you first apply it, but it's okay. it's get orange after the fourth coat [if you use an airbrush]

i did it to my EG a while back, it was really nice and satisfying to do it yourself. the only problem i had was after 6 months or so, the paint started to fade quickly (yes, i clear coated it). the paint started to crack as well (probably due to cold winter).

next time, i'm going to spend the money i invested in the paint/brush/clear coat to buy some fake amber corners
