Happened to have some of the coloured spray varnish that motor heads use for faking colour anodizing etc - I use it on my custom aluminium adapters. I have clear red, but blue, purple, green etc is available.

Anyway, decided to try it on the front clear element on an old maglight torch I have (The YoullBe size) that no longer works (corroded). Gave it 2 coats of this clear red lacquer, and voila, instant PERFECT red torch. So, spritzed the front of my 6 LED torch, and am VERY impressed with the results (the stuff lays FLAT and doesn't granulate like a lot of the other spray clear lacquers.

Maybe ONE more layer for a deeper red, but it's pretty darned good as is.

The spray is around $20 a can, so unless you already have some, it's a touch exxy, but after using the can for over 6 months now and many adapters and parts, I still have a LOT left.
