Krylon StainedGlass paint. try hobby stores. when painting, clean well, put on ONE thick layer, do not drip. using multiple layers will cause hazing over each layer, making it dull. ONE thick coat will keep it clear. good luck.

I've seen some people painting over OEM corner...well...i don't know how you like jobs to be done, but i definatly would not want to ride on OEM painted corner. They don't look too good, because, you said it, half is already bright amber.

Getting some cheap clear APC is the way to go, but still, that's my opinion

Keep us informed, peace !

i used some $10 APC clear corners and painted them with Krylon Stained Glass Orange paint that I bought from Michaels craft store for like $5-6. Worked great.
