Never tried it, but you could ask around at some of those 'Jap Slam' shops where you live. (you know, clear tail light lenses and other 'go faster' products for Japanese cars) They may be able to give you the name of a shop that could do it for you. I do not know what sort of paint is best to use as there is a heat and a brake fluid issue to deal with.
