(spray) painting a reflector ?

[Medic-one]

New Jag SRT, don't like the orange bits on the front, have replaced the indicators with clear ones :







But apparently these little orange reflectors are a pain to take off (several small clips that often all snap) so was thinking of like a black tinting spray or something.



Looks much nicer colourcoded :




But never done anything like that before, so am just after some tips/advice/idea's before i mess up anything...

you can get tint spray from halfords which will blend them in, just spray in light coats until happy with the tint level.

Cool, and just put like some masking tape around it i assume ?

I did it on my BMW and was able to take them off, but yes, masking tape / paper, cover as much as possible as it's a spray so you'll get droplets if there's a breeze.

Here's mine:

Bought from Amazon! Although I did take the indicators off so it was easier - no masking involved. I did scuff them up a bit with 1200 wet&dry.
