Yeah, unless you have other business? I can't help but noticing your suffering emotional anguish from 20 year old oil. I have some on the garage shelve. Can't do much with them now since I fixed the rocker cover leak.
Good.
I have never done that.
I meant the generally you and not the specific you. You could mean joe bloggs for example.
Have to add in some reference information for future use.
The most likely bulb paint candidates are:
Granville Amberlight as already mentioned by someone. But there are places that said can't paint bulbs with it. Also there isn't a lot of example of it showing the result is amber and not a slight variation yellow. I am looking for an orange finish.
Pebeo Vitrail, and similar class of solvent based glass paints. These are likely to give a glossy and smooth finish in a bulb dipping application. This woman actually painted a bulb with it:
It will take experimentations to see how well these paints work and how durable they are. If I am bothered by these damn bulbs again, then I may try these paints.

A finish best described as a too pale yellow. It only works with multiple coatings. I'm surprised, no one has developed an amber plastic cover to simply slip over such indicator lamps. Cheaper, quicker, more effective is thin amber coloured film, as sold in craft shops. A layer or two of that, held in place by fuse wire.
I don't mind buying the amber lamps, but the coatings soon crack and fail.
I was looking for something else and came across this post which reminded me of this thread. Strange that the OP didn’t use them again but chose to make up yet another of his pointless threads. He is either a liar or has a very poor memory. Or lonely and needs someone to talk to him.
Get a scrap of stage / theatre lighting gel to fix / attach to the rear of the white lens?
https://stagedepot.co.uk/lighting/lighting-gel sells the proper stuff by the sheet. A large choice or "orange" colours available to choose from.
Similar idea to the craft shop stuff but intended for use in TV/Theatre luminaire gel holders in front of the lenses/reflectors so pretty warm often enough.

How do you know the factory didn't paint it then?
