You can go and buy some spray paint. It's called Transparent Candy Apple Red and it's by Testors. Get one can and do whatever you want with your tails. I painted my tails with this paint and I think it looks great...

Relevance is irrelevant
Or you could use Metalcast. Parts stores sell it for reasonable prices. I wanted the solid color look for my Civic so I bought some mellow looking Altezza's and sprayed them all red. I put some clear coat on em to protect the paint from chipping or scratching so easy. And viola! It was too easy.

Just paint the outside of the lens....make sure you tape of the parts you don't want painted. Here is a pic of my lens that I painted myself...I will post pics of it on my car as well...I think it would look better on the car!
