I'm new here, but thought I would share something I found a few weeks ago.
I noticed when people ask about painting nixies red there is a lot of talk
about dipping them and such but I found a spray that is working wonders.
It's VHT Niteshades and meant for use painting tail lights. There is a
black one that all the annoying people that cover their tail lights with
black paint use but there is also a red one. The can sprays a nice vertical
line of paint so its easy to cover where you want. It must have a chemical
in it to make it cling evenly to surfaces because even spraying a side of a
round tube, turning it, and repeating until it was all covered the coating
was immaculate.
It's a tough material and doesn't scratch off easily at all. When you spray
it the liquid goes a bit hazy for a couple of minutes and then clears right
up.
Attached are photos of IN-12s(my sucker group, can't stand the upside-down
2 for a 5) with no paint, 1 coat, and 2 coats and a 6CB6 with two coats I
painted next to a Z574M factory paint tube.
