hello to all. I was wondering if there are any ways to make a color gel for lights. thanks to anyone who can help. I was thinking of taking some transparent paint, and painting some plastic. Anyones input helps. or, if there is a way to get the led's bright enough. thanks

Movie people have been using colored gels since forever. You really want to make your own?

I know this is a DIY forum, but at some point it just becomes silly to make your own.
Rosco or Lee. And they will last more than 20 minutes. ;)

Check out your local college theater or some AV company for scraps. You'll have a better idea of what you are dealing with.
