Its easy. The paint i would/did use can be found here:

Its is a ment for glass but works just as well on abs plasitc. It is also very cheap. About $4/can. It can be found at those craft stores. "JoAnn"(store name) here in So Cal. Just add about two coats to get the same depth at the red on the inner tails

if you paint the outside it wont be smooth and you might not like that so paint the inside. You can get transperent paint at pep boys for about 4.50
