I did this last week - bought some royal blue glass paint for £1.30.
Took bulb out and gave it about 4 coats 'cos after testing it after 2 it wasn't blue enough.
I now have a nice 'ice blue' interior when the doors open. the bulb does get hot but this is ok for the paitnt I got.
I just went to a local arts and crafts shop and they sorted me out.
