painting bulbs for TL-S tails ?

I have the type-s tails, but I want to stay legal with orange turns. Can I spray the orange bulb with a silver coating so they dont show so much from the outside, but still blink orange ?

when you paint your bulbs be careful of it chipping away, cause i had a friend who did that and after a month or so it did that, my suggestion is to find already painted bulbs like APC, makes.
