<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 201066, member: 36"]For the paint, I found this out years ago, you might do well to get hold of ...nail polish. I kid you not. I used to hand paint small bulbs for my dad's model trains and regular paint wouldn't hold up. The nail polish worked just fine. I'm not sure if a higher temperature from a higher wattage bulb would be different or if it would be too much of a pain for pieces this size. You'd have to experiment if you decide to go that route.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
