I used to buy a product in little bottles that was made for painting glass,
like for
stained glass hobby. I used it on mini Christmas lights to intensify the
color after
they fade out. This sounds silly, but if the lights are part of a
decoration, it's easier
to paint a bulb than to change it out. BTW, reds always fade to pink real
fast.
Anyway, that product disappeared from the market. There is another hobby
paint for "stained glass" available. It is latex. It comes in both clear
and crystal.
And, it really doesn't work too well. So, if anyone knows of a good
product,
I too, am interested.

Hey all -

I googled for this, and got a couple hits, but thought I would ask
here.

I finally got my 1A2 phone system up and running..... and now it's time
to 'customize' it.

I'm thinking I want the lights to be blue instead of clear. When I was
a kid, I remember buying light bulb paint at radio shack; wondering if
anyone here knows where this could be obtained nowadays.

If I can't find that, I'm thinking I could also get something working
with something like the gels they use in fresnel lights.

Or any other ideas? These are pretty small bulbs, but also very bright.
Heat won't be an issue.

Thanks
Matt


Christmas light bulbs !!!!!!!!



Lacquer? Maybe like for model airplanes?


Try nail polish. Lacquer in lots of colors. Find it cheap at a Dollar store.
