   I think theres a special type of paint for it that still lets light through which would be legal but thick gloss paint etc would not let it through.

   with normal paint no lol with spray paint its ok just make sure your reflectors are visable and make sure not to put to many coats on if your not sure get them done at a garage should cost around £30-40 maybe less
   
   hope thats helped you out mate

   It is legal if it lets the light through, i believe you may have a problem with the reflectors though, can be easily fixed however with some mounted on or under the rear bumper

   He just said! Or you could cover up part of the reflector so it doesn't get sprayed, might look naff though

    think you have to put the paint into the laquer so the paint will be more clear and thin if you catch my drift, either that or they use thinners
