Coloring light bulbs
What can be used to color light bulbs?
Where can light bulb covers be found? Like for turn signal bulbs or the like? Thanks Jim |

I used an amber highlighter marker, quick and easy.

Re: Coloring light bulbs
I went to Michaels (craft store) and bought orange glass paint for my 6 volt parking/turn signals in my '39. Works like a champ and no peeling.

Re: Coloring light bulbs
I've used transparent paints from local hobby stores, Pep Boys sell the bulb covers, and sometimes regular spray paint can be used - light mist.

Re: Coloring light bulbs
Thanks everyone. Those are great tips. I want to make the turn signal lights red in front.
I know, probably not legal. |

Re: Coloring light bulbs
I know truck stops used to carry thin silicone covers for various size light bulbs in various colors but I haven't looked lately.
