They look good, I did mine a few years ago (same method) and they still work fine ;)

I know it costs a little more, but I opted to buy some silver bulbs on ebay:

Maybe it could work for you if you can't find the right paint...

And who gave you the idea??? :lol:

Mine have been painted for quite some time (longer than PDad), just using good ol' Krylon. Theres a little cracking, maybe due to the buls being a bit dirty when I did them, but they are still a nice pertty silver....
