yes. I have all my originally clear nixies (including IN-18) dipped into orange french lacquer (or "bulb-dip lacquer" as would be literal translation from the german expression). Looks great, no more blue-violet hue, improves contrast and makes very much sense with an auto-dimming function :-) Kind regards Roger -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
