I didn't paint my highness buckets but everyone I know has used stained glass paint. I don't know about anyone else but I checked like 10 different stores and never found it. Amazon sells it if you can't find it

If you have a Michaels (craft store) They have it there. Also saw it at a couple hobby stores in my area.

I checked michaels, hobby lobby, and a couple other craft stores. No luck but I don't care much about having the yellow highbeam now that my Retros are done

Better to order online anyway. When I do my retros I plan to leave them chrome and just do the black housings. I was thinking of using night shades over the chrome to try and get a black chrome smoked look? Not sure if I want to risk it though especially with the high heat. I dont plan to take them apart ever again.

The projector gets installed and then it is no longer 9006. It is H1 at that point.
