Painting Indicator Surrounds

One of the things that shitted me with my fto was the side indicators.

The poo orange surrounds were really crap. Having always planned getting the clear indicators, I now have to wait I bit longer financially.

To make me sleep better at night I had to paint the poo orange surrounds.

I think this getâ€™s some dodgy ness factor, but itâ€™s a temporal fix for me, here is the results, I managed by accident to chip a small fragment away on the bottom

Lesson learnt!

Has any one done this before? Comments? Ideas? Suggestions? Nagative feedback?

Next time, get one of those silver texter painter things and dont remove the incator at all..
It'd work for a cheap fix

but...
Dodgeyness factor = 10 / 10
