Okay, I tried the plastic model paint (Humbrol make, color type Enamel, black) on my regular LightWedge. It seems to block the light almost as well as the black tape I had on before.

I'm enclosing one photo of the lightwedge in a box with one edge blacked out with black tape, and one with the paint. The other picture shows the tape removed, and the same other edge painted.

As you can see the paint works rather well. And this is just one coat, it can't be repainted until after 6 hours, so I will add a second coat tomorrow. There is a tiny bit of the light wedge edge uncovered by the paint, there is a slight (0.2-0.3mm maybe) flash edge of the plastic, soe sort of seam along the edge that isn't completely covered with one coat.
