Well this worked out, found these beads at Hobby Lobby and thought to give them a go. Kinda pleased how they look. Got a bit of reflective look.

You can get several different sizes, these are .152 diameter for the red ones, the blue ones are 4mm and 6mm. Got them at Hobby Lobby in jewelry department. 

I used a hobby Q-tip (very small) dipped a little bit (just the tip) in Vaseline to pick them up and set in place using two part epoxy. Put epoxy in the hole with a tooth pick, then set button in place in case I missed the location, I wouldn’t mess up the paint. This also worked well with setting my slam locks. Seemed to work but hard on patience.

Productive day, fuel tanks, tank straps, fuel caps, air connection box, and truck decking all painted and cleared. Now….no touch for a few days

The 'lights' look great, Gary - amazing what can be found to add to a build!

Man is that ever true, from manicure department at Mejier , plumbing department at Home Depot to the jewelry or scrap booking departments at Hobby Lobby. Just feel a bit out of place in some of those departments. Make my wife go with me😉🤣😜😂
