Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone can help me with this one,


How can I make clear plastic indicators and tail lights look like orange and red plastic?


I've tried painting the inside with Vallejo red and orange acrylic but it's not very convincing they look too opaque to me, I've seen lots of completed models on YouTube with the lights looking like real car lights in that they're sort of transparent red and orange if you get what I mean.


Can anyone help?

Should have added. Found a few weeks ago after starting to use Mig Acrylic this.


Mig Acrylic Crystal. For, not used it yet, making glass looking objects ie headlights.
