Ok gonna have a bash with the lamin-x stuff. What size is gonna be best to use? I wanna do both headlights, tow eyes if possible and the headlight on my chop (4.5") mini bates. Also 1 sheet and cut it or smaller individual sheets?

I have used and can recommend stained glass paint on ebay.

Nope, the stuff I recommended from Ebay just paints onto the outside of your lights and is dry within 1/2hr, and will last for at least 2yrs :wink:

I've bought Amber light from places like Kevin Coopers, think most motor factor places stock it

forgot how nice your car / old car looks. I've only got a lil cl at the moment due to massive insurance, so no front fogs - so I could use the craft stuff to do my tow eye covers - not sure on doing the headlights though, last thing I need is being tugged. Guess I could do 2 coats though and it would be a bit lighter
