Rust Ravaged to Beauty Salvaged Lamp

     This poor lamp was ravaged by the salt air of sea side living in Florida. Now I realize these are not glamour shots but, I was working under difficult conditions. This sweet Lamp was used to stage a home I was tasked with getting ready For Sale in less than two weeks. The lamp was in the home as you see it in the before getting ready to paint. I bought two types of paint the gray that I decided to use the Bronze hammered.  I did not use it in this project.

It was a gorgeous sunny day so I had to keep the lamp in the shade of the carport so it would not dry

to fast. I set out the table cloth which kept blowing around hence the messy pictures. Time was of the essence so moving on I gave the lamp a quick sanding to remove any grime that would affect the paint adhering. Following the instructions on the can I shook the can and sprayed the lamp. Be careful to start spraying before and after the you pass the piece you are spraying to keep from getting drips. I also mentioned the wind and this can complicate spraying paint because it also goes where the wind blows. This is another reason I tucked my project in the carport to shelter the lamp and me from the wind. This is one coat and done.

 My plan was to keep the glass table clear. The lamp would not separate it was rusted together. I decide to see what happened if I painted it all. I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes the twist of a project turns out best. Yeah!!!

Now this Lamp dressed with her shade is as pretty as a picture and ready for a new home owner to enjoy. I am impressed with the +Rust-Oleum 2 X Coverage Paint. This paint was a huge time saver and the finish came out perfect. I would recommend this product. This is not a paid or sponsored endorsement and is not a warranty of any kind. I am simply stating I used the product, on my own and the application I used it for it worked out great for my purposes.
