You can get small bottles of transparent spray paint at hobby shops. I don't know which ones there are around your area though, they carry lots of different types of paint for model cars/trucks/planes/etc...

If your gauges are "Autometer"... you can actually purchase a package of THREE blue slip-covers (we call them bulb-condems) from your local speed shop.
If you have trouble finding them let me know. I can help.

Don't they come with those 2 rubber caps that go over the lightbulb inside the gauge? I may have one lying in the garage if you need it.

I just installed my Ultralite boost and AF gauges and I noticed that the lighting for the boost gauge is really dim, without any covers on it at all. Anyone else have this problem? I need it to be brigher since I'd like to do what Ramdom is doing so it matches my Indiglows.

I bought a set of bulbs from Autozone to replaced the originals since they were burned out (i bought the boost gauge used). They look bright to me..except yellowish. May be a blue cover or glass paint of some sort (if I can ever get one) will do great. Anyways, I bought the bulbs and they come in pair..so I have one laying around..if you need it, swing by and I'll give it to you for free.
