I had a similar dilemma. I wanted to make turn signals out of the 40mm grenade casings shown below.  My plan was to use plastic easter eggs as a mold, (they have a great ogive shape perfect for the actual grenade) and to pour liquid resin tinted amber into the shells.  Once it cured I could simply pull the shell off of my lenses. Tinting resin is ridiculously easy as well - just use food coloring. A little goes a long way. As it turned out, I discovered Texas does not require turn signals, so I used the casings for pop up gas caps instead. I'm 100% percent sure it would have worked though, so I'd love to see if you could do something similar.
