Did mine today!

Got the stained glass paint from michaels. Great idea whoever posted it. Easy DIY but now i have to realign the fogs which will be a pain.

Here's a couple of pics.

clean the lens thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and let dry. I sprayed one even coat from 8-10 inches away back and forth motion 5 to 6 times so it was nice and covered. Then i dryed it with a heat gun but a blow dryer will also be good.

Take the bulb out and rest them on some newspaper or cardboard. No need to tape anything off. I tried to do multiple coats but then the lens got foggy so i scrubbed it off with rubbing alcohol and tried again.

One nice even coat worked best for me.
