That's what I want to do to mine. I got this polycarbenate paint from one of my R/c car boxes and used to tint the windows on the bodies. It sticks to plastic and you can bend the plastic in any way and the paint won't chip off.

When tinting the sidemarkers, you'll almost have to use red and orange bulbs. The hyperwhite bulbs come out in a purpleish light, which was unacceptable for me. I ended up painting mine completely black and taking out the bulbs. I'll get some pics this afternoon.
