michael's craft store sells it, but it is not in the paint section. They are small 7oz bottles as well.

you can also get them online, or I have a spare can I am done with.

ya, i just finished doing that, but since all the stores in my area ie Walmart, Crafts Store etc... do not carry that product I had to improvise

basically I had to use an airbrush gun and a waterbased yellow paint for glass, gonna install them tomorow hopefully it will do the job in the long run

I think you'd want to stay away from fancy after market bulbs that run at 80-100w then wouldn't you? Due to the heat? Unless that Krylon and what not is good at high temps.
