Decided to clean-up the FT topper today, and replace bulbs. Struck me that blue globes may give a water glow, gotta be better than white anyway. Had some testors model paint in the shed, and thinned it down with turps prob 50/50 (to allow enough light through the bulb glass). Easy job to paint, held them upside-down in a peg (to aviod paint dripping on to the bulb's metal contacts). Yep I need a new bubble for my topper, but that can wait.

I think it looks ok:

Does look good! And I think we all know where you can get a new bubble...
