Painting Clearance Strip

anyone done this? pics?

considering doing it on my DG coupe. Mine starts out white but fades to yellow and looks ugly (especially with my white led bulb in there). Im considering painting it white or grey (to match the DG). How will this affect the light output of the led in there?

Want something like this:

but in white or grey

obviously in the pic its not a painted clearance strip, but what would i need to acheive this look? or anyone thats painted their strip got any pics? thanks

Went ahead and did it today. Came out pretty good and clean! Much better than the yellowing/dull one.
Was debating to either paint the clearance strip itself, or paint the glass that goes over the strip (meaning it would look like the pic I put up in the OP, or it would look like a textured strip. went with the latter). Looks pretty close to my car color too.

Clearance strip

Instead of paint in the strip are you able to put vinyl in amber color?
I don't want to have it clear I want to match the amber turn signal
Is this possible ?
