Amber on my park/turn signal lens fading

I haven't tried it but I've been told that the company that makes model car paint, Testors, make a "paint" for amber turn signals. A friend of mine said it was a very good match and should be applied to the inside of the lens.

 

Hello Jaques
Polycarbonate paint No PS43 Tamiya apparently the one. Am just going to try this as I have tried everything else including vinyl heatgunned from the inside , mixing paints/varnish etc.
The Tamiya stuff is specially made for transparent models so should be right.

As a side bar to the amber lens issue, I was able to secure that last 2 lenses in Ferrari's inventory world wide. These are the last 2 period. The left one was $1300.00 and the right one was $1700.00. They also have 1 new front bumper left for $1000.00. It is going to be very expensive for the insurance company, thank god its not mine...........................It seems that the guy that smooshed Candy's car has his wife as his insurance agent. How convienent.

Now the insurance company is up side down because the price of the parts. The adjuster does not understand that these cars are not standard throwaway modern junk and that the parts are not exactly shelf items. I don't think she could even spell Ferrari much less comprehend the expense and magnitude of the repair. I was also put off by her lip smacking gum chewing in my ear while on the phone with her.

They still want my insurance company to try and subrigate this claim, even though my car was parked and the guy backed into my car, go figure............

Heaven forbid they should actually have to pay the full claim

....nice talking to you on the phone Howard....

 

I tried this and it worked, painting the outside of the lens, I have since polished them clear.
