For clear spray paint, you can check a hobby (model) shop for Tamiya clear spray paint.

Auto parts stores may have Krylon or Dupli-Color in clear.

Not sure how well it will hold up long term on glass. Have you thought about using the glass as a "mold" and making them out of a vacuum form plastic?

Thanks for the info guys.
Sam did a great job on the radios, his album and web page no longer exist, does anyone know how to contact him?

I thought about getting some vac forming for the lights but just as the Blade Runner one, its really only a display and
wont be out in the sun or left on for an extended period so hopefully the paint wont fade.
Will look into it a bit more though as it would be easier to have the colour sorted at the same time the vacs are being done.

Hi Scagg

No clear finish will truelly stick to glass. If you do coat the bowls and it does not blister off outright it may be fine as long as you do not handle them at all after they dry. Assembly would be a challenge. I have sprayed color tinted clearcoat on acrylic on various occasions. We use liquid Pantone ink from the local graphic art supply store. It comes in little bottles with
a wide range of colors to choose from. Mix it with the clearcoat and spray multiple coats until you get the look you want.

Another thought on vaccuforming, try using "PETG" plastic sheet instead of acrylic. Acrylic is brittle and uncooperative stuff
especially on "deep" molds like those. PETG is designed for Vaccuforming and wil take a ding without shattering. You can
backspray to get the color you want. Also, the vaccuum will crush any mold that is not very sturdy. You mentioned your glass bowls were thin. I would fill them with something like plaster to back them up.
