Hey, I have a UK primary and back up light and I was wondering if there is a paint out there that would work well to paint them. The neon green plastic does not go well with the burgundy on my suit.
Paint for a dive light?

I have used regular plasitc model paint on mine before. I didn't paint the whole thing though so I don't know what it will look like after a few dives.

Vinyl dye available at most automotive accessory shops does a very good job of painting plastics. It comes in spray cans and costs about 10.00 US
I used a can to change the color of the bezel for my computer monitor. It worked well and does not chip off.
It almost seems to chemically bond to the plastic.
It comes in many colors (primarily used to color vinyl trim pieces in a car)

What color would you paint it, burgandy to match? Black? Neon green seems like a perfectly functional color for a light - easy to find in a dive bag of black gear, or if you drop it someplace - presumably why bright yellow and green are commonly available choices for lights. Why bother?
