I guess YMMV.
N2, I've had some luck spraying the bulbs. I have a couple of 194s (granted not 1157s) that were spray bombed with candy apple blue and are completely exposed (not protected by lenses) to the elements here in Colorado. Maybe it's the prep. I scuff the bulb with sandpaper and use denaturalized alcohol to clean it before spraying. I then spray a few very light coats until the desired affect is achieved. They've been on for almost a year.
