Gday all. Want to know a theory. If I was to paint silver the rear of the light on the Dragon clear moulded headlights, then OD over the silver and the remainder ,(excluding of course, the 'glass' front) would this be effective? If light hit the clear, would you see the silver behind it? Theoretically it seems it would, but thought I'd put the feelers out first...

I can't speak to the clear plastic headlight, but my normal method is silver with a dab of MicroScale Krystal Clear glue which dries clear. I've been pretty happy with the results. I would think the same effect would apply in your case.

Yup. Works pretty good, too.
