Yes, I am going to try it. In fact I am already in the process of doing it.
I got some black paint today. Water based color that is normally used to paint coffee cups and the like. The regular process is to paint the object and then burn it in at 170°C. Then the paint is supposed to be dishwasher resistant.
My plan is to just paint the three transparent edges of the wedge and stop short of putting the end result into the oven.
Now, I don't know much about painting. Therefore i hope that the paint can be removed without damaging the wedge. I found the painting process more difficult than expected. The paint did not stick well to the surface even though I meticulously cleaned the wedge with alcohol. The photos show that the light still shines through at some places. Just now I wait for the color to dry. After that I put a second layer of paint on the first and see how that works.
However, I fear that the particular paint I am using is not really suited for the task. If anyone can recommend something else, I'd be glad to hear about it.
