where can i find transparent shine lens orange paint
ok i found this company spw but i called and they didnt answer so im guess their company went outta business or havent updated their site in a long time with their new number. anyway where can i find some transparent shine lens orange paint like in the pic below. i wanna do my heads and tails like the celica as well below. im searching and found on google krylon its called but not really sure what i need exactly. if anybody can show me what i would need just like the orange can in the spw picture. thank you. 
+1 rep for you.

Rep Power: 295 the one on the celica has been painted with candy orange which is the hole color of the car...candy paints are transparent paints which you can see through the color...it looks like the orange on that was painted over a silver basecoat with candy paint on top..the headlights were probably sanded down with 1500 grit wetsand than painted with the same candy paint and clear coated...hence the same color tone

Rep Power: 302 you can sand the heads and tails and paint them the same color as the car? dammm i didnt know that either. im just a clueless ***. lmao ill go that route instead so they will match 100%. my color is the acura oem color not a kandy color just to clarify. ill have to call up my bodyshop and see how much he will charge me =)

Rep Power: 295 you have to have a candy paint because candy (aka house of kolor kandy/some other brands) are transparent paints...regular paints wont work
go to a hotrod shop and or a custom paint shop and ask them if they can body match the headlights with kandy paint...its gonna cost some but it'll badass
