Default Tinting tail light lens

Hey Gang, I need your help, I cracked my rear tail light so I had to get a new one for my 03 turbo. I forgot that five years ago I tinted my lens with some sort of semi transparent plastic paint, my color is inferno red, and now the old lens has a candy color to it and the new one looks much different, the most noticeable part is the orange turn signal section. I forgot how I tinted it but I did get the tip here a long time ago, has anyone done that and could you give me some insight? Now I know I'm getting old.....Thanks, G
