Touch up paint

That idea is spot on.  Go for it

Back in 1968 the Philips G6 TV had a valve 25kv EHT power supply and it had a switch interlock to prevent operation without the metal protection screen on, in order  to prevent X-ray exposure but evidently  engineers bypassed them and thus exposed themselves to radiation. Guess they are no longer with us.

Er,  that should read 1989, after TV was invented.   It sounds like there's a few of us on the forum that know what 4.43361875 MHz refers to

When you make your touch up nail varnish chart, don't forget to make a cross reference part to the cheapo 99p Superdrug range to keep in Trigger's favourite price range!

When I worked for Panasonic,  EHT belts were fairly common.  Prior to the engineer's Christmas meal I got 2 LOPTs,  sprayed one gold and one silver.  I mounted them on little mahogany plinths and got some plaques engraved with;  Repairmans Electric Shock of the Year.  We presented them to the winner and runner up of what we judged to be the best EHT belt.  (mere 240V belts don't count)
That was back in 1898, I wonder if the trophies still survive.

The most stupid one that I received was when evaluating the healty of the EHT on a Bush dual standard where you would draw an arc from the top of the line output valve with a screw driver, if you could get 1/4 inch it was good enough. On this particular day I picked up the wrong screwdriver that has the neon light and resistor in for testing 240V .  That made me jump.

Regarding 240V, it wasn't uncommon to find the chassis live , particularly where a 2 pin mains plug was involved. Hence the neon scredriver in the toolbox.

Any how back to the original topic, thans for all of the suggestions, I have found some old rattle cans with red in them - time to try some mixing to see if I can darken a bit in a thimble.
