I just bought some Krylon red translucide paint and Krylon clear coat to paint my tailights. I tested the red paint on a clear piece of plastic and it looks a bit pink. Has anyone tryed this paint before cause I don't wanna end up w/ pinky tailights?<P>thanx

Where can you find the translucent spray paint? I looked in a couple of stores just for the hell of it, and i haven't seen any. I was hoping I could buy it at a homedepot or Lowes.
