Ive also added the mast, and decided to add lighting according to modern navigation light rules.
And I presume there'll be lit port and starboard navigation lights and a stern light?

The stern light is already there, just need the yellow tow light above it on the mast.And I presume there'll be lit port and starboard navigation lights and a stern light?
Those paints look interesting but for one bulb, as you say, probably not worth it.Trevor,
You can buy “stained glass” paints, which work passably well. I’m not sure of the make I bought, but “Pebeo” seems to be the current favourite. You’d probably want the orange rather than a yellow, and do leave them to dry for a long time before turning on, or the paint bubbles when the bulb gets hot. Though whether you’d want to pay £4.75 to colour one lamp is another question! Maybe the marker pens?

I dont think I can actually at this point. Ive already sealed up the roof and the battery also supplies the headlamp which I dont want to dim.Trevor,
Your nav lights are very bright, too much IMO.
If you have them wired in parallel, try wiring them in series. It’ll dim them nicely, and make the batteries last rather longer.
