remove rear lens, mask off the red section, use about 2/3 coats of tinting spray to cover the orange/white bits.

White spirit or paint thinners (not sure if it'll mark the plastic though  :undecided:)

White spirit doesnt work, well not with the tinting spray I had....
I phoned the company that makes it. They said Acetone. You can buy it from a Chemist. Tried this and it works a treat.
