Default Heat Resistant Glass Paint

Ah, he seeketh the Holy Grail. And why not? So far nothing I've found works
very well, but I'm a perfectionist (recovering). Recently, I used some
Krylon "Stained Glass" glass paint on a 150 watt halo flood and it lasted
for a few days before it began to fade from cherry red to a nice burnt
orange hue....very pleasant, if that's the color you wanted. Probably still
removable, if i cared. Probably end up a nice amber color if I keep using
it. They indicate candle lanterns OK, but do not mention light bulbs on the
package (hint). Conclusion: If you want permanent colored bulbs you must buy
them in the color you want. If temporary duty will suffice, spray
away.......

Anyway ... this has been my experience with painting light bulbs at various
times in my life...good luck. Or maybe, someone has a new solution.... I'm
eager to hear it if there is one. ( I admit I've never tried firing vitreous
enamels onto a light bulb ...... yet)

cheers, Jacques Bordeleau

I want to paint some light bulbs I have in my lamps. One is a halogen
bulb so gets pretty hot. Are there any heat resistant glass paints on
the market. Any help, or alternative suggestions apreciated.

Justin
