I’m trying to revamp my Makuta moc, and I’m wondering if its possible to paint a clear piece (lets say a bohrok eye) and turning it purple? I’m new to the world of custom painting parts, and I wanted to know if anyone has tried and succeeded, and what paints they’re using.

I would suggest ask in this topic:
#Paints for LEGO Pieces
Painting LEGO parts is undoubtedly a tedious process. What’s even more tedious is searching for paints that stick well and match to existing LEGO colours.
So I’ll save you some trouble by listing all of the original, unmixed paints I’ve found and used for my Bionicle MOCs, as well as explaining what types of paints are best and how to apply them.

Above are the colours I have currently - mostly early Bionicle colours. The paints used are listed in section 3.
If anyone knows of any good paints matching colours not listed here, please share them below, particularly for the more rare or obscure colours like purple and dark turquoise.
I have a few other colours for LEGO sets, though they’re all ones I’ve mixed, so I’ve neglected to post them here.

I would try using dyes instead of paints for trans pieces, since getting an even coat on the first try is super important.

Since we already have a general topic for painting lego pieces, this shall remain closed.
