We have these exterior light fixtures that I've never really liked. They are builder-grade (that's a polite way of saying they are cheap) and they aren't something I would pick out today. But as I'm
Sooo, I put lipstick on a pig. Or spraypainted a builder-grade exterior light fixture. Whatev.
Here's the ugliness before (this is truly how they looked. BAD BAD BAD!):
So, here they are in progress, in my "spray station". Yep. A piece of carboard in the grass is my "station".
They look better already!!!!
We cleaned the glass pieces, wiped down the shiny brass-colored relfector, and Brad put them back up. They look like a million bucks now! Or as Brad said, "They look like brand new builder-grade fixtures.". Fine. But they look waaaay better than before!
Sorry it's off center. Didn't want to display our address. Oh-and a side note-don't hold spray paint cans upside down while spraying. It drips all over your fingers and they stay black for several days. Just sayin'.
Looks great! I have been wanting to spray paint ours (spray paint is my new love in the world of arts, crafts, and decorating) and feel more confident about trying it now, thanks!
