I figured out a way to help those faded out lenses with out busting the
budget. These were almost clear when i started. Wish i had taken a before pic. Anyways after a good cleaning, i brush painted the inside with the paint that comes in those cheap suncatcher kits. I think this one came from walmart and was like 1.99 with 5 colors. It remains translucent and light shines through fine. It added a few years to my ambers after i also redid the black on the outside with some good old testors.
