I painted mine with some hobby paint, Amber color. You just have to find the right shade and I try and keep them waxed and clean. I have had the chip on me yet, but i put a couple coats of paint. Costed me liek 4 bucks.

Ill have to go diggin for the bottle so i can tell you exactly what i used. All i did was rough it up a little with some very fine sandpaper like 1500 grit and I used to clear coat too. I painted those about a year ago and I took that picture like 3 days ago so it lasts def! :biggrin:

you should also be able to achive that color by using 2 sheets of transparent contact plastic (light orange and yellow) just put the orange on first. you can get contact plastic at wal-mart for like $2 a piece.
