Big John;

If my old memory banks are correct, back when there was a colored coating you could use on light bulbs. Maybe you could look in a craft store for a translucent paint. The leds do not get hot so there should not be problem with the coating getting burnt off.

Years ago the only blue bulbs were the high beam indicator light on the VW autos. I wanted blue bulbs for a project I was working on and they were the only ones I could find. The VW dealer wanted $5 each for them. So much for that project.

Thanx for the info Ken. I thought of that myself, but when this long and slow process is done, I don't want anything to look like it doesn't really belong.
Especially if I take it to shows.

Thanx buddy, Big John
