i haven't used the Tamiya mentioned in that thread. i used orange Krylon Stained Glass paint (not the "Paper Finish" kind).
it's hard to find, but it's out there. try hobby stores, craft stores, and artist supply stores. i know Pearl Paint has it, and i've seen some colors at Hobby Lobby and Michaels.
i added a protective layer of UV-resistant clear. and i haven't had any fading or anything in over a year now.
you are stuck making your own, as CRX/Hatchback/Sedan corners ARE DIFFERENT then the wagons.
CRX/Hatch corners:
notice that the bottom of the rear is curved/rounded and the use of a metal bumper filler.
Sedan:
notice that the bottom end goes straight down towards the BACK of the car without curving, and the use of a metal bumper filler
Wagon/Wagovan/RT4WD:
notice that the bottom end goes straight down towards the FRONT of the car without curving, and the use of a plastic bumper filler (the wagon in this pic has a JDM EF bumper and painted bumper filler... but you still get the idea
All Civic Hatch/Sedan/Wagon CRX used the same Headlight housing though, so those can be intermingled.
JDM corners were all transparent and USDM corners were half amber. Are you talking about the indicator lenses? If you mean indicator lenses then you should be able to get some from a wagovan as they were all amber, same with the JDM Civic Pro.
