While making this example, I discovered that yes, you can paint light bridges with all 3 gels and wash them off with water but the conversion gel doesnt seem to work as the portal goes straight through them (which is normal for an unpainted lightbridge).
Interesting! That's a shame, I was hoping to make a puzzle where a light bridge extends out of itself using conversion gel.

Alvin: Yo dawg, I heard you like hard-light bridges, so we put a hard-light bridge inside a hard-light bridge so you can walk while you-
Leonardo: We have to go deeper!!

hmm, function is there, but gels are invisible... i tried to play with gels too, but they were always invisible. omnicoders map is the first custom map i saw where the gels work like they should. but i got no idea how he did this 
Does the map have lighting? Because if it's fullbright the gels won't show up correctly.
Also, I bet there must be some way to parent a func_brush with the nodraw texture on the light bridge with a func_noportal_volume parented to it. I think that may let you put portals on the lightbridge with conversion gel.
All my example maps have basic lighting.
woohooo!! 
i just changed the lighting in this example map and now i can see the gels on the ground/walls! i can finnally start to use them in my maps!
thank u sooo much
