Sorry mate could'nt tell you, but I don't see why not. You not thought about trying it yourself mate?
Couple of coats of Black and plenty of Lacquer, I tried it on my SXI Rear Lights and they looked great but just put too many coats of black on so couldnt see lights very well in daytime.

None mate, I used the savage tint at first but it aint as good as normal paint. I used Halfords Vaux Saphire Black Paint and gave it about 4 coats which was about 2 coats too many, but before I gave it the 1st coat I sprayed on couple of coats of lacquer to try and let more light through, they when all black is applied spray on few more coats of lacquer to get the shine. (But only do it if you feel confident in your own ability), the lights I done it on were old SXI lights (I have Black LED's on car)
