	Here is an easy, fun, and inexpensive way to make your
own BLUE LED's.

1) Buy some clear LED's from Digikey.  Even easier, go down the street
to a Radio Shack and buy some.

2)  Go to a hardware store, and buy some blue paint and some thinner
for it.  Make sure the thinner doesn't react with the plastic on
the LED's.

3)  Mix up a thin batch of blue paint.  Use the thinner to do this.

4)  Coat the LED's with a thin coat of thin blue paint.  Allow to
dry.  Make sure the coat isn't too thick.

5)  After your LED's are dry, try selling them to suckers for $50
a pop.

I hope this works for you.  If you make money selling your "blue"
LED's, how about giving me a few $$ :->
