Default tail light tint??

quick question I sprayed my tails, third break light and mirror turn signals with the japanese yellow can stuff from ebay it looks decent but im not impressed...

my question is I have a very nice sprayer i bought to paint my house does anyone know if they make a paint i can use to pour in my sprayer that works to tint the lights again I think i could do a better job with a sprayer over a spray can??

thanks guys

that spray should work. the distance you hold hold the can from your lights determines if it looks good or not.

oh, and im gonna guess that the needle on the spray gun to paint you house is way bigger than any automotive needle would be. so it prob would not work
