Closer to the Finish Line!
My painter reports a smooth finish was laid down on the aprons and I should expect delivery on Friday. I'll reserve final judgement when I lay eyes on it but if he says its smooth, it should be smooth.
If these are in fact done, I'm done with my part of the resto with the remainder waiting in the wings for my mechanic. Hopefully, it is on to building the light!

I'm presuming these are the pics from your painter? They look pretty good, and I'm hoping you'll indeed be pleased when they get back to you. Light time next, eh?
Yes, pics from the painter.
I should be able to start work on the light this coming week.
Pics or it didn’t happen!
Don't feel bad buddy … my pool room looks much worse!!
What are those gray pieces in the middle of the aprons?
Maybe tape marking location?
Yep... it's green tape marking the locations.
Did you paint the parts, and if so what method and are you happy with the results
I used a Rust-Oleum Enamel White Paint and rolled on 3 coats, sanding between each coat. I then brushed on over time, about 4 coats of Minwax Gloss Polycrylic over the paint, after waiting for the paint to cure for a couple of weeks. I then sanded the polycrylic smooth to achieve a pretty nice finish that I am quite happy with. The Enamel White color is undoubtedly NOT the "correct" Gold Crown 1 color, but it's close enough for me.
If I had had more time, (I wanted to get this in my house before the weather turned cold) I could have done an even smoother, Glass-Like finish...however, this can be done in the future, when the weather turns warmer again, if I so desire.
