Well... the lamp is almost finished...Pending the correct pink Lightbulbs... on order. some of you have asked what kind of paint I used. I think it's a satin , but honestly I don't know!!! A long time ago I emptied what was left of it into a couple of these cups, ( from a diet plan gone bad) Ha! and now for the life of me I can't remember which it was....I think any good paint would do though...Lets just call it diet paint....
